We are all looking forward to a WAY COOL Christmas this year as we will not only be accommodating hundreds of guests, but also inviting volunteers to help with the area’s largest Christmas POT LUCK. Historically, the Mission has asked for assistance with donated frozen turkeys and side dishes to help with the holiday meal but this year we are trying something different. We are inviting our community to help us put together a WAY COOL pot luck to serve our city’s hungry and homeless a super wonderful meal on a day that can be difficult when one is down on their luck. We want hundreds of Mission helpers to cook an extra dish this Christmas and donate the prepared dish to the Mission so that we can serve it on Christmas Day. Daily we serve about 1,400 meals but on Christmas we plan for about 2,000 throughout the day. We need 100 turkeys and 20 hams cooked and delivered on Christmas Eve or before 11 AM on Christmas Day. We need nearly 400 side dishes. What are you cooking for Christmas? Make this meal extra special by cooking a little extra and sharing it with those in need. Here is where we are today:
- Turkeys 18 – we need 82 more turkeys
- Hams 2 - we need 18 more hams
- Side Dishes 14 – we need about 300 more side dishes
- Desserts 4 cakes and 1 general dessert – we need about 200 desserts
We need your help. Please call Jan or Sharon at the Mission to make your commitment at 345-6080 or 742-9715 or better still email me at tim@waysidechristianmission.org.
