Dear friends,
The Ambassadors of Peace is trying to put together another interfaith and multicultural group to work Valentine's Day lunch at The Daily Bread Soup Kitchen. We decided to do the lunch the day before Feb. 14, so people could rest up on Sunday and be ready for the work-week. We expect to feed between 130 and 180 people. The number is higher this year given our current economic climate and that it will be on the weekend.
I'm happy to share that our last year's entertainers -- Jennifer Shawker and Larry Ward -- volunteered again. So will have songs! However, if there are any magicians or balloon animalers out there, please contact me!
The menu this year:
Braised French-inspired beef tips and mushrooms, served on a bed of caramelized onion rice, a medley of green beans and bell pepper, salad, soup, chocolate dipped strawberries and fruit cobblers.
As always, we would appreciate the donation of fruit cobblers. All you wonderful cooks out there, please take note!
Please contact me if you want to volunteer and let me know what area you’d be interested. Here’s the schedule:
The lunch on Saturday, Feb. 13th is from 11:00 to 2 p.m. at the soup kitchen at Wesley United Methodist Church, 301 W. 18th St. and Martin Luther King.
The chefs and their assistants will have to be there by 8 a.m.
Entertainers and servers by 10:45 a.m. (Maybe the servers can be there a bit earlier or later depending on schedules).
The clean up crew has to be there by 1:00 p.m. so we can be out of there by 2:30 p.m. hopefully.
This is just a tentative schedule. Please send in suggestions and ideas to help improve it and make the event a success. Please contact me to volunteer so I know what to expect and not panic!
Also, if you are unable to volunteer on Valentine’s Day there are other ways to help. Remember, we are looking for donations of boxed chocolates (the small boxes that cost about a $1). Chocolate makes Valentine’s Day so much more special. Monetary help with the grocery will also be appreciated.
And pass the word to family and friends who may be interested in volunteering and/or donating.
This is the fifth-year for the Valentine's Day Soup Kitchen Lunch and we couldn't make it happen without everyone pitching in. So thank you for your help in the past and thanks in advance for your help and prayers this year.
