We are in need of people who are willing to prepare and serve a meal once a month or one-time only. Some groups sign up to prepare and serve the meal on the same day each month. For example, the first Tuesday of every month, or a group will only come once.   Food can be prepared on or off site.  Dinner is served at 5:30pm and is over at 6pm.

Expectations: Food for the meal will be brought to be prepared on site or food will be prepared off site and brought in, children will be served either family style or plated, and the dining room and kitchen cleaned before leaving.
