CMPC will be participating in the Cold Weather Shelter again this year. The dates are December 30th through
January 5th. Grassroots is hosting the CWS at its recently renovated facility on Freetown Road. CMPC will be
providing continental breakfasts and hot dinners for 70 guests.
For dinners, we are asking for 4-6 people to sign up for casseroles (or meat&side dish), and 2 to sign up for salads. Volunteers will need to coordinate, since Grassroots needs to provide the same dinner to all guests. A list of suggestions is available, but please feel free to fix a favorite dish. Please do NOT provide any pork products.
For breakfast, we are asking for 3 volunteers to provide breakfast for 24 people each. Each volunteer should
provide fruit and either cereal/breakfast bars/muffins/doughnuts/bagels. Since they are fine with a variety, there is no need to coordinate with other volunteers.
Dinners should be delivered to CMPC hot and ready by 4:15. If you (or your group) prefer to take them directly to Grassroots, please have them at the shelter by 4:45. Breakfast should be delivered to CMPC by 4:15 the day before it is to be served.
We are also being invited to provide up to three volunteers (minimum age 15) to help serve the dinner. For
planning purposes, Grassroots is asking volunteer servers to sign up via CMPC by December 16, so if you think you might like to help serve, please let us know by that date. Volunteers will need to sign a confidentiality form and bring it with them. You can sign up to provide food through December.
We will be available to answer questions after services every Sunday in December. You may sign up to participate here, or via the signup genius link provided in the bulletin. Or if you prefer, sign-up sheets will be available after services every Sunday in December. Thank you in advance for your support and participation!
