HELP 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.  

However, in September, Family Kitchen will return to inside dining.  The St. Bede's Crew needs to add a number of volunteers ASAP.  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, August 22, 2022.  We begin our work at 11:00 am with serving starting at 5:00 pm and clean and dishes.  Please come for the day or give any amount of time you can give between our start up and clean up.   

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