Shelter Meals

First Presbyterian is responsible for preparing and serving a meal at Crisis Ministry on the third Wednesday of each month. If you or your group would like to volunteer to provide a meal at the shelter, or if you would like more information about volunteering, please contact Jeanna in the church office (via email link, or call 336-248-2140).

We serve the adult side of the shelter, and they are currently averaging 60 to 65 residents at present.
There are no dietary restrictions, and our volunteers are responsible for providing the meal, dessert, and drink.
Dessert does not have to be fancy or homemade; something as simple as prepackaged cookies or snack cakes will do.
Our volunteers do not have to provide paper goods or utensils, but donations of those items are welcome.
The meal should be ready to serve by 6:00-6:30 PM, and the shelter’s residents are responsible for clean up afterwards.
Leftovers are saved for lunch the next day.

If a volunteer has a meeting or other obligation that would prevent them from staying to serve the meal, arrangements can be made for the residents to serve the meal themselves.
