Food Preparation
We are purposeful about the food we serve during our Wednesday night outreach. Each meal contains a protein, vegetable, side, and dessert. We serve warm meals, keeping in mind that this is sometimes the only well rounded meal these community members may receive that week.
We ask those who volunteer to prepare a meal for the week to be ready to make their meal well rounded and enough to serve 50 people. This can be a daunting task for one person, so consider recruiting family, friends, neighbors, or co-workers, to donate their time to make a meal with you.
