Free Sunday Meals-Winter 2023

Hello FUMC Church Family,

Our Sunday Free Meal Distribution is making a difference in our community! Word is getting out that we are offering free meals to the community between 11:30 and noon on Sundays. The Food Drive is continuing its outreach and getting the word out in the surrounding communities.

So what do we need to do to keep providing this incredible service to our neighbors?

VOLUNTEERS

We need two volunteers each Sunday! If you’re interested in volunteering,sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D44A8AA22ABF8C70-fumc

MEALS

If we continue to serve 25 guests at three meals each, we’ll need 75 meals weekly. It may be a challenge, but for the next few weeks we’re going to try! To simplify, this means we need 15 people to make 5 meals each week. Or 60 people to make 5 meals each month, both of which sounds way less daunting.

If you’re able to make meals, sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D44A8AA22ABF8C70-community

Following are the most requested meals so far:

Roast chicken/turkey/pork, rice, green beans::Shepherd’s pie or meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas & carrots::Soup or stew with cornbread or bread::Lasagna, chicken/broccoli ziti, or another pasta bake::Kid meal: chicken fingers, mac & cheese, veggie

The most important requirements are:

Meals are COMPLETE, including protein/veggie/starch

Meals are LABELLED

Meals should FREEZE WELL

Please email fumc@fumcmelrose.com with any questions, and they will be forwarded to myself or Jana. Thank you for your support of this important ministry in our community!
