HELP THE FAMILY KITCHEN & THE ST. BEDE'S CREW -- AS WE COOK FOR AND SERVE THE HUNGRY IN OUR COMMUNITY! 

The St. Bede's Crew of church members volunteer one Monday each month with the Family Kitchen.  These volunteers prepare and serve a "dinner" meal to community members in need.   This event is held at the First Lutheran Church using their excellent kitchen facilities and their large hall.  Since 2020, meals have been provided in Carry Out bags.  

Beginning in September 2022, we will need additional help so we can serve our meal as a sit down dinner.  We are also required to clean up afterwards.  

Our next date for Family Kitchen will be Monday, October 24, 2022.  We begin our work at 11:00 am with serving starting at 5:00 pm and we clean up and wash dishes.  Please come for any part of the the day from 11 am to 6:30 pm. OR come for the whole time!

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH FAMILY KITCHEN!
Any questions can be directed to Fran Valley.    ​Try it, you might like it!
