Hello! Hope you all have had a nice summer. Our next week of hosting Family Promise families will be August 7th to 13th. At this time we will have 3 families. 3 moms, a grandma, a 20 year old boy, 2 – 9 year old girls, a 7 year old boy and a 3 year old girl; 9 in total.
We are in need of following volunteers:
Room Set-Up volunteers will need to help set up the rooms and unload the beds and families items from the trailer on Sunday afternoon August 7th 2:30pm.
Room Re-set volunteers will need to reset the RE rooms on Sunday morning August 14th at 7:00am.
2 Overnight volunteers each night Sunday August 7th through Saturday August 13th. You would need to be at the church by 8pm. The van will pick up families about 6:30am and then you would be free to go. We will provide a bed and a fitted sheet, you will need to bring a blanket and pillow.
Dinner and/or Fellowship volunteers Sunday August 7th, Monday August 8th, Tuesday August 9th, Wednesday August 10th, Thursday August 11th, Friday August 12th and Saturday August 13th. We ask that you be ready to serve not later than 6:00pm. You would provide a meal cooked at your home or at the church (drinks and all dinnerware are provided by MQP). In the past we have paired families together for meal preparation. Please let me know if you would like to prepare the meal on your own or be paired with another. We suggest you plan to feed 12 people (FP families and MQP volunteers). We have created a menu outline for the week to help avoid any repeat meals and to provide a variety for the families. Menu outline is below.
Sunday: Beef, side, veggie/fruit
Monday: Chicken, side, veggie/fruit
Tuesday: Tacos, veggies
Wednesday: Pasta, salad, bread
Thursday: Any meat (beef, chicken, pork, turkey), side, veggie/fruit
Friday: Pizza, veggie/fruit (we will get this donated, you would just need to provide a dessert and fellowship)
Saturday: Grill out if possible? Hamburgers, hotdogs, side, veggie/fruit
** Simple is better! “Meat and potatoes”, “chicken and rice”, and “beef/chicken and noodles” types of meals work well. Avoid lots of sauces.
** Dessert is optional… We have found that during some hosting weeks guests eat it and on other hosting weeks the guests do not.
It’s up to you if you would like to provide dessert.
** Plates, silverware, cups & drinks provided by MQP
Please let us know when and how you are available to help.
Thanks,
Beth and Kylie
