MAKE AND SERVE THE COMMUNITY MEAL

volunteers impact lives

The Community Meals for families in the Apartment Shelter Program have been positively received! It is a great way for families to connect with one another and recognize that they are not experiencing homelessness alone. Plus it’s a way for you to show your support of families who are financially vulnerable!

eating a meal together builds community

We are in need of groups willing to provide the meal. Your family, congregation, business, or civic group can sign up once or multiple times!

This is what you need to know:

● Groups bring 2-3 volunteers to serve the meals to and eat with families.

● Groups are asked to arrive at 5pm and be set up to serve at 5:30pm

● Usually the evening ends at about 7pm. (evenings with a seminar might be a

little longer.)

● All volunteers must go through a criminal background check and are encouraged to complete the online training. At least one volunteer present has to have completed the training.

● Bringing a craft or game is not required, but adds fun to the evening.

● Volunteer groups plan and make the meals of their choice. Meals should arrive hot and ready to serve.

● The numbers of people present fluctuate so we touch base with you a week before your meal.

● Leftovers are given to the families - bringing some tupperware they can use is helpful.
