THANKSGIVING PLANS AND INFORMATION
Staff and volunteers are preparing for the Mission’s Annual Thanksgiving Banquet which will be held at Wayside’s Hotel Louisville location, 120 West Broadway. The grand ballroom, located on the second floor will be the site of this meal which will be open to the public. Turkeys and Hams have been supplied by Kentucky Harvest and an anonymous individual in our community. The Thanksgiving meals will include a Breakfast Fit for a King and a traditional Thanksgiving Lunch and Supper that will include:
• Turkey
• Ham
• Chitterlinges
• Green Beans
• Stuffing
• Rolls
• And much more
Hotel quests staying in our economy (one cent) rooms will be invited to participate as will Wayside shelter clients that are housed in our shelters on Market and Jefferson Streets. For many of these shelter guests as well as many of our volunteers, this will be their first look at the new hotel’s magnificent banquet space. The kitchen at the hotel, which has been inspected and approved by the Metro Board of Health Department, will be used in the preparation as will the Jefferson Street kitchen.
We are planning to serve our guests on round tables with cloth table clothes and napkins. The Banquet room will seat three hundred guests at a time allowing all of the hotel guests and about 200 clients from Market and Jefferson Street to sit down together and have a wonderful meal. The Jefferson Street kitchen and dinning room will also serve the Thanksgiving meal to many residents that are disabled or who are coming in off the street. In all we plan to serve about 2,500 Thanksgiving meals.
Volunteers will provide special music for our guests and the kids will be entertained by face painters and clowns. Volunteers will be assigned to one of the two sites so that we can have equally great meals. Karaoke will be the norm during the afternoon and the Down by the Wayside Choir will be performing at the hotel during breakfast and lunch.
Serving times:
Breakfast 7-9 AM
Lunch Noon-2 PM
Supper 5-6:30 PM
Volunteers will be needed at both locations and will also be needed in-between meal times to help prepare and cook the meals. Please contact our volunteer coordinator, Kim Likins at 584-3711 or email her at kim.likins@waysidechristianmission.org. You can also email me at tim@waysidechristianmission.org. Normally the supper meal has fewer volunteers and needs more assistance if that will work with your schedule.
If you are interested in bringing treats that can be prepared in our kitchen please let us know. The new kitchen on Broadway offers a great amount of space for willing volunteers to work on special projects.
