Food and Fellowship

Join us for an evening of food, fun, cooking and serving. We gather together to cook a large meal (for about 30 people) and then have dinner together ourselves. After dinner we send some to our friends at the Good Samaritan Haven.

We always need more cooks and help. Please email us if you would like to participate.
