NEW DAY OF THE WEEK FOR FOOD AND SHELTER LUNCH SERVED BY ST. THOMAS MORE
Just this once, we will be serving a meal at Food and Shelter on THURSDAY, JULY 6, instead of our regular every other Tuesday. A sign-up and additional details will be available closer to that date and will include directions to their new, expanded operation on three acres on the east side of Reed Avenue, south of East Main Street. The kitchen and dining area in the new facility are much larger (and nicer!) so we may need more volunteers! We will keep you posted and if you already know you would like to help, call Kathy McIver at 405.205.4265, or email her at 5soonermacs@sbcglobal.net.
Have you seen Food and Shelter’s (soon to be) new home at Reed Avenue and East Main Street (moving in mid-June/early July)? St. Thomas More, under the leadership of our St. Vincent de Paul and Knights of Columbus, is sponsoring one of the McKown Village cottages housing people who are or were homeless before they move into permanent housing. See this week’s insert for more information and ways you can help!
Volunteers from St. Thomas More prepare and serve a hot, nutritious meal at Food and Shelter, 104 W. Comanche Street (the corner of Jenkins and Comanche) on the first Tuesday of every other month. Reminders about upcoming dates are listed in the bulletin and sign-up sheets are available in the atrium a few weeks prior.
Parishioners can help by providing a dessert (homemade or purchased, both are appreciated), making a donation to be used to help buy groceries for the meal, or helping with the preparation and/or serving the meal. The meal preparation starts at 9:00 a.m.,
Contact Kathy McIver at 405.205.6265 for more information or to volunteer to help.
UPCOMING 2017 Food and Shelter Dates: July 6, September 5, and November 7.
