What a difference a day has made as we continue to add helpers to prepare a super wonderful meal for the hungry and homeless of our community. Here is where we stand:
- Turkey Commitment 28 – we need 72 more turkeys
- Ham Commitment 3 – we need 17 more hams
- Side Dish Commitment 50 – we need 250 more side dishes
- Dessert Commitment 12 – we need about 188 more desserts
- Estimated number of meals to be served Christmas Day 2000!
Hey, this is easy! When you decide what special dish you will prepare for your Christmas meal add a portion for 8-10 people and completely prepare it just like you would for your family and friends. Then drop it off at the Mission, 432 East Jefferson Street, in a disposable pan on Christmas Eve or on Christmas day before 11 AM. Let us know what you are planning by emailing me at Tim@waysidechristianmission.org. We would like your phone number, mailing address and email address so that we can keep you updated and communicate if necessary.
For nearly 21 years I have supervised the Christmas meal at the Mission. We have had the good fortune of getting a lot of community support of the basics to cook the meal. Kentucky Harvest has been a life saver when it comes to helping supply the food. This year I wanted something that our residents would remember. I remember the great meals my mother prepared as a young boy and later young adult. Of course, at Christmas the home cooked meals were even more special. So why not do this for the many guests we serve. We can cook and serve an institutional meal but we cannot do home cooking. But you can. Join Nina and me this year and help us prepare a super wonderful home cooked meal for the homeless and hungry of our community.
This is a WAY COOL pot luck!
