The Luke House Community Meal Program
|
At The Luke House Community Meal Program, each group of volunteers for a given monthly lunch or dinner chooses a menu, and each member of the group chooses an item to provide on a consistent basis. Providing the food for the meal is a group effort. Group members participate in the meal in different ways. Some people provide food and then come to Luke House to prepare, serve and share the meal. Others participate by regularly providing their meal item. They may come to Luke House occasionally, seldom or never, but they play a key part in this ministry of hospitality nonetheless. Volunteers commit to a level of participation and to providing consistently what they can comfortably afford to supply.
