Things to consider:
-
No known food allergies;
-
All containers must be disposable (i.e., no crockpots or casserole dishes)
-
No need to include beverages, serving utensils or plates unless you want to help with clean-up by providing disposable plates.
-
There are 12 residents and there may be a guest, or a staff person occasionally included --- plus they enjoy leftovers!
-
If you have a menu planned a week in advance, email the information to BJ and she'll let MH know. They post a flyer so the residents will know and can look forward to it!
Reminder: This is drop off only so please package accordingly
so the residents can reheat, self-serve and easily cleanup.
Sign-up information – as soon as it’s recognized that a date has plenty of volunteers it will be removed from the sign-up form. If we are blessed to have many volunteers they will be selected in order of time they signed up.
You will receive an email, not automated – letting you know you’re among the first to sign-up. Once we have a full roster or if it’s getting too close to the date BJ will email the group with one another’s contact information.
If you already have a confirmed group that would like to work together please indicate that in the Additional Comments section.
