HOW TO HELP
WEDNESDAY NIGHT COOKS

Seeking a few more volunteer cooks to help prepare Wednesday night meals. We currently feed about 25-40 each week. Those who cook do it all…plan the meal, provide the ingredients, prepare it in the church kitchen, and clean up after. You get reimbursed for food cost. It can be a few people or a team. If you are willing to help one Wednesday a month, please Michelle (972-841-8458) or Shannon (817-991-3049) for more information!
