The Thursday Lunch Program
has a great need for 2 volunteers to join the 1st Thursday team of Jane Skinner & Janis Kish in assembling meals for the elderly and serving needy during our soup kitchen. 9-12:15 with a break between the 2 programs. A male volunteer would be most appreciated to help with the heavy lifting of pots... Swapping Thursdays with other volunteers and calling on substitutes are options available to you when you're unable to volunteer on your designated Thursday. It’s a great opportunity to engage in meaningful work while enjoying fellowship. If you're interested, please contact
