[Lekooks] Volunteers needed, Bread of Life dinner

[William Lizdas]

Hi everyone,

Our turn for serving the Bread of Life dinner at St. Charles in Hartland is coming up on Thursday, Dec. 15. We'll need about 6-8 volunteers to help serve it. The time range is approximately 4:00-7:00PM.

We've been doing this for a number of years, but for those unfamiliar with the program, here's a little background:
 The dinner is held on the third Thursday of each month, with the help of multiple area congregations working together. Two congregations team up to plan the menu, purchase and prepare the food (in St. Charles' kitchen) and serve it. Our guests are primarily seniors, and for many of them, the opportunity to get out and socialize is more important than the food alone. At some dinners, health and human service folks are present to offer blood pressure screening and other help.

This is a wonderful opportunity to involve our middle and high school members in public service! The younger folks serve as greeters, and wander the dining room with pitchers of milk, water, and perform other helpful favors.

If you'd like to help, please respond to me directly via email. I'll put you on the list and notify everyone (via lekooks) when we've reached our needed number of volunteers.

Heartfelt thanks,

Bill Lizdas
