This ministry is active. We do not have formal meetings. I’ve created a sign up genius from the list of volunteers and send out the request for needed food a few weeks ahead of the dinner date.
Our notices in the bulletin and we have increased the number of volunteers to more than 30.
On the day of the dinner, food is dropped off in the church kitchen between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m. by the volunteers and the group serving that evening meet (usually 4 people), pick up the food, and go to the shelter to reheat and serve the men. So, even though we don’t have formal meetings the volunteers are cooking and providing the necessary food on the dates they choose.
Our mission is to provide a delicious hot meal to the men at the ImmaCare shelter (click link to their website) on dates pre-arranged with the shelter annually. This is usually for 75 men. Janievette Correia is the new coordinator at the shelter. There are over 15 Churches Organizations that come and serve dinner for the shelter. We even have some schools that come and serve dinner during the school year. Usually people book their dates to serve for the full year due to the calendar fulling up really fast.
