It is surely a blessing to us, and hopefully to those we serve. There are a few ways to participate: Purchase food for the meal (or give $ for us to purchase food). All food needs to be dropped off in the downstairs kitchen at Solomon‘s Porch by Monday, July 26th. Volunteer your time on Tuesday, July 27th: Food prep 2:45-4:45 Serving/clean-up 4:45-6:45.
