What We Do
For each of these holidays (Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas), a continental breakfast is served from 8AM-11AM, and a hot meal is served from 11AM-1PM. A free raffle of gift cards for many local fast food franchises is held from 10:30AM-11AM. Hot meals are also delivered to shut-ins. All attendees can take away a second meal, a bag of canned and non-perishable groceries, as well as gently used clothing. In addition, new items such as blankets, knit hats, gloves, and personal hygiene have been provided at various times. This year, donations of new tube socks are being sought.
Preparation for the meals, such as setting up tables, sorting clothes, bagging the groceries, and preparing the food for the meals occurs on the day before the holidays at the high school. Further food preparation, serving, delivering meals, and cleanup occur on the holiday itself. Volunteers are needed for all these activities.
