Second Helping July 2021 Updates

Second Helping volunteers have had a busy year so far in 2021, assuring that our guests have hearty and healthy To Go hot Sunday suppers and sack lunches. We are serving around 60 hot meals and 50 lunches every Sunday.  In the first 6 months of this year, we have served 1,799 hot meals to guests, including 11 or more weekly meals to the Pawnee Crisis Unit.  We also provided 1,368 sack lunches.  That’s a total of 3,167 meals!  A HUGE THANK YOU to the cooks, Sunday helpers, lunch makers, dessert makers, grocery picker-ups, meal deliverer and all who have donated cash and food items to this mission.
 
If you are interested in being part of this important mission of our church, these are our needs:

• shelf-stable food: oatmeal packs, peanut butter snack crackers, cereal bars, canned    vegetables (and we LOVE big cans) and slaw, ranch and Italian salad dressings.
• cash donations: for food items needed for meals and lunches and for To Go supplies (uccmanhattan.org/giving)
• dessert makers: need homemade desserts for 60 every week. uccmanhattan.org/sign-ups
• Head Cooks or cooking teams: cooking teams in the kitchen are usually family members. Contact Di, Jean or Linda. 
• Sunday evening volunteers: 2 or 3 volunteers on Sunday evenings. Contact Di or          Jean
• lunch volunteers:  Making the sack lunches during any time before Sunday. Contact     Shari.  She also welcomes homemade goodies to put in the lunches.

If you need help getting in touch with anyone listed above, please just contact the church office and we can help (office@uccmanhattan.org).
