Sunday Lunch Program
Time: 10:30 am – 1:00 pm
Location: St. Francis School, McCarthy Hall
(enter the Marian entrance between the church and school, go downstairs) which is the school cafeteria
Information: Student/parent teams
will be helping prepare the meal, serve the guests, and clean up after the meal. Guests
of the lunch program include anyone who is in need of or wishes to come for a meal free of charge. There is quite a cross section of people from our community, most deal with poverty, many have mental
health issues and many we know nothing of their background. With this in mind,
students should work in twos or with another volunteer most of the time. They
are also free to come into the kitchen if at any time they are getting too much attention from a guest. The does not happen frequently but could occur. Guests are
for the most part courteous, grateful and hungry. Each group will be scheduled
with a seasoned volunteer coordinator. There may also be 1-2 additional experienced
volunteers. The student/parent teams will be directed to various jobs according to the meal plan for the day and the coordinator
on duty.
