HOT MEALS is hosting our annual Thanksgiving Dinner and we are in need of volunteers. We would like to extend an invitation to the parishioners at both St. Mary’s and St. Bernard’s who may be interested in sharing a little of your time with those who are in need of a warm meal, respite from the cold and a friendly smile.
We begin our food preparation and set-up around 3:45 PM. We serve the meal at 5:30 and are usually cleaned up by 7:00 PM. We hold an orientation for all new volunteers after the hall is set-up. Volunteers must be high school age or older and need to be accompanied by a parent if under 18.
If you are not available to help serve the meal on Wed. Nov. 25th but would still like to help, we are in need of people to pre-cook a turkey for the meal. We have some turkeys available in our freezers now if you would like to pick one up or you can purchase one yourself and cook it for the meal. If you choose to cook it in advance, you can freeze the meat. Please thaw it and bring it to the church by 4PM on Wed. We will make other arrangements if you are not available to drop the meat off on the 25th.
Please call Lisa Smith at 330.929.8612 to volunteer or if you are willing to cook a turkey for the meal. Thank you.
