The meals and food that we will  be providing will be delivered on Monday and enjoyed by our guests  through next week.  That is why I need to collect the food this Sunday.  Our only volunteer activity is providing the meals and food items at this time, this is a very different experience than in times past. Hopefully we will get back to something that feels more normal soon.

>> Church of the Resurrection will provide half of the food and we will provide the other half.  The other VC, Laurin, and I will be making one meal each and for the rest......

>> WE WILL NEED:

>> 2.  Two Quarts of milk
>> 3.  A dessert - bars or cookies -  type to be divided among the apartments
>> 4.  Some fruit - bananas, grapes, apples (anything but kiwi) also to be divided among the apartments.  Need not be large quantities of fruit  
>> 
>> I do apologize for the short turnaround time for these items, but we just received the info late Wednesday afternoon. I will need to make arrangements to get all of the donations on Sunday so that I can deliver them on Monday.
>> 
>> Please call me if you would like to contribute any of the items above.  I didn't know how to put this in a Sign up Genius!?  If the item you wish to donate is spoken for, I will let you know.
>> 
>> We are still in this strange cycle of "hosting" where we do not get to interact with our guests.  It seems a bit detached, but I have been told that our guests are wonderful and very grateful for the meals.  :) Apparently the 3 and 5 year old boys love to give hugs!!  
>> 
>> Thanks to ALL of you,
