How can we cook for so many? We are suggesting you get a team of 4 or 5 people together. Three of these people would make two or three 9 x 13 casseroles in disposable aluminum pans (a total of 6 to 9) and one person could bring a vegetable. Café of Life provides milk and juice each day.
How often would we be asked to cook? It would be wonderful if you would agree to take one day a month, but Café of Life remains flexible.
What would we prepare? Café of Life strives to serve a hot, well balanced meal as this may be the only food some get on that particular day. Café leaders have recipes available or you can use your own recipes. Pasta, rice, and/or beans are very popular.
How do we get the ingredients? Many volunteers buy their own ingredients and consider that a donation to the Café of Life. Others turn in the receipts to the treasurer for reimbursement plus there is usually meat available for use in our freezers.
Do we need to stay after we bring the food? The choice is yours. Many enjoy seeing how much the clients appreciate and enjoy the food, others choose to leave.
“You fed me, clothed me, and had medical help that you provided. But most of all you loved me as I was and always had a smile. Thank you from the bottom of my heart..”
