Men’s Shelter Sandwich Delivery

While the Men's Shelter on North Tryon Street is undergoing renovations, meals are temporarily being served at the 3410 Statesville Avenue site. Due to lack of storage at Statesville Avenue, the Men’s Shelter has asked us to deliver sandwiches on Sundays instead of Saturdays. Our Sandwich Kitchen will continue to prepare sandwiches on Saturdays, but we need volunteers to deliver the packaged and boxed sandwiches on Sundays in May, June and July. Sandwiches need to be at the Shelter by 11:30 a.m. on Sundays. Volunteers are also welcome to help distribute the sandwiches and have lunch with the men. Sign up online.
