Meals, especially dinner, have always been a core part of the FPCOS program. Ensuring that our families end their days with a warm meal and an opportunity for fellowship is an important part of the FPCOS story. Over the next six months, we need volunteers for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to provide meals, an opportunity for fellowship, and encouragement for our families.
What am I signing up for?
-
A meal for 7-15 people. We will provide you with exact numbers and any food allergies the week before your shift. We encourage you to engage your volunteers to grocery shop and help prepare the meal. When you sign up, you are taking responsibility for dinner on that day.
Where do I sign up?
-
Please visit the Signup Genius (click link) to see available dates and claim your congregation’s spots
What will meals look like?
-
Each meal will have a green, a protein, and a side. We have shopping lists and recipes if you would like some inspiration. You can deliver the meal to the Day House or arrive early to prepare the meal in the Day House kitchen. Meals should be ready by 6:00 p.m. You are welcome to stay and share the meal with the families (of course, you’ll need to adjust the size of the meal accordingly if you choose to stay).
How will I receive updates?
-
A FPCOS staff member will reach out to you to confirm details and ensure that you have all pertinent information (dates, addresses, number of people, any allergies, etc). We also will ask what meal you plan to cook so we ensure we aren’t repeating meals.
