FRIDAY COMMUNITY MEAL
The community meal program began in 2009 as food insecurity began to increase in our community. We typically serve 50-90 individuals.
When and where does the community meal take place?
Every Friday, meals are available for take-away from the pick up counter at our shelter from 4:30PM to 5:30PM.
Who is responsible for preparing the food for the community meal?
Each week a different group plans the menu, purchases the food, does the food preparation in the kitchen at IFTC and serves our guests. The program is also supported by a group of core volunteers from IFTC, who setup and cleanup after the guests leave.
An invitation to participate
Each Friday we served a nutritious, take-home dinner form 4:30 to 5:30 which is open to everyone in our community. These meals are provided by corporate groups, faith groups, service clubs and groups of family or friends. These Providing Groups shop, prepare and serve the meal and typically spend from $325.00 upwards and plan for 100 to 110 plates of food. A group of Inn From the Cold volunteers manage beverages and set up and clean up tasks.
Donations to this program are always welcome. Tax receipts are available to those purchasing the food.
