Durham Rescue Mission Meal Update
|
|
While the quarantine persists, CGS will use Mercy Ministry funds to subsidize our monthly meal contribution to the Durham Rescue Mission. When quarantine is lifted, we will resume participating in-person, “hands-on” as is our normal custom. For the April 19 meal, we are looking at providing a large order of Bojangles’ chicken that can be picked up and delivered to the kitchen door of the mission. The mission’s kitchen crew will provide the rest of the meal.
