The Bold Service and Social Justice team has arranged several opportunities for congregants to prepare and serve dinner to unhoused members of our community, either at the winter shelter at the LAUMC/Mountain View campus or at Project WeHOPE in East Palo Alto. Check the dates below and sign up if you would like to serve in this way.
Cold-Weather Shelter Dinners
There are several dates to provide dinner this winter to the shelter’s residents: December 26; January 2, 16, and 30; February 13 and 27; and March 12 and 26. Three to four volunteers are needed on each date, 4:30–8:00pm, at the Mountain View campus. Sign up on the Hope’s Corner volunteer site.
Project WeHOPE Dinner
In what has become a much-anticipated annual tradition, LAUMC folks (and friends) provide a sumptuous holiday feast for Project WeHOPE shelter guests. Volunteers help prepare, transport, and serve the dinner, with meal preparation taking place in the LAUMC kitchen and dinner being served at Project WeHOPE in East Palo Alto. This year’s dinner is scheduled for Thursday, December 19. Volunteers are needed in shifts for various tasks between 3:00pm and 9:00pm. Contact Jan McDaniel to sign up.
