How Can i help?
Use this Signup Genius link to volunteer.
Once again, First Christian Church and State Street United Methodist Church will collaborate to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving meal to be shared with our friends and neighbors through pre-arranged delivery routes and locations including the BG Towers, Park Row Senior Arts, Housing Authority of BG, Barren River Area Safe Space (BRASS), families who receive assistance through Meals, Inc. and pick-up by patrons of the FCC Community Grocery. Needless to say, a coordinated effort of preparing and distributing approximately 850 meals over the course of Thanksgiving morning is a large undertaking, and it takes many hands to make light work. There are a number of ways to participate in this tradition including: providing a dessert the week of, pre-meal prep the day before, assisting in the kitchen or “on the line” to put meals together the day of, delivering meals to specific homes or the larger quantities to specific community partners, cleaning up after all the food has been received by those who appreciate a warm Thanksgiving meal… there is a place YOU can serve.
Please consider how you (or perhaps your entire family) can join in helping this year. It may even be a ‘new’ tradition for you to begin. The joy of providing a warm meal for others in need is a beautiful way to celebrate Thanksgiving with sincere gratitude. Use the link below to view the volunteer needs and sign up if you are able. For those who can prepare/provide desserts the week of, there will be “dessert-specific” sign up opportunity 2 weeks prior.
