“For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited me in;” Matthew 25:35
One of the most rewarding ways to volunteer is to make a Dinner meal for the Residents in the Men's New Life Rehabilitation Program (25-30 men) at 10 Mill St. or the Emergency Men’s Overnight Shelter at 148 Taylor St. (20-25 men). Both facilities are sober living. This is a tremendous help to the Rescue Mission and provides respite for the SRM Food Service kitchen crew.
Meals can range from pizza and grinders, to casserole dishes, spaghetti and meatballs, cold-cut sandwiches, chicken dishes, rice dishes, burgers and dogs, sloppy joes, stuffed baked potatoes and everything in between. (Side dishes and salads are always appreciated. Dessert is optional.)
Some provide a meal on a regular weekly or monthly basis and others do so as schedules permit. Even one time is a blessing to the Rescue Mission!
The following are options for providing a Dinner:
- Dinner Providers can prepare and drop off meals for a scheduled day by 4:00pm. If dropping off before the scheduled day, please label and date for scheduled day.
- Dinner can also be purchased from a local restaurant or pizza shop and delivered to the Rescue Mission for 4pm if more convenient.
Dinner is served promptly at 5:00 pm at both facilities.
Dinner Providers should complete a Gift in Kind (GIK) form at the reception desk when providing a meal. This is your tax deduction form and is used for the Rescue Mission’s tax purposes as well. Dinner Providers must contact Volunteer Coordinator for scheduling:
