Fill The Freezer For Safe Families, Saturday April 12th, 10am-12pm - Girls from grade 3 and to our most senior ladies are invited to a morning of cooking together to fill the Safe Families Freezer so that they have meals on hand as the families they serve need them. Different ways to volunteer, we need multiple volunteers who would be willing to host the morning in their kitchen. To provide the cooking tools needed to prepare a meal. The rest of the volunteers would then be divided up into groups to go to each of these kitchens and prepare a meal together. Each group of volunteers would split the recipe and each bring ingredients to contribute to the meal. If you would like to join us, please reach out to Angela at ange-cook@hotmail.com. If this date doesn’t not work for you but you would like to be a part of filling the freezer, you can make a meal for a family of 5 on your own and bring it in to add to the rest of the meals. On the container include the name of dish and heating instructions. To the gentleman of our congregation, we are asking if you would be willing to help with some financial donations to help purchase the takeout containers needed to store all this food in.
