Game Loft Dinners – an Outreach opportunity!
Dear friends and fellow cooks,
In this season of resurrection, both divine and earthly, I would like to bring back the GAME LOFT Friday dinners program. This program is so valuable to these kids. Here’s why: They are fed a nutritious meal 5 days a week at the GL, NO ONE IS TURNED AWAY. On Fridays, they have met their Federal nutrition requirements so all bets are off and they can have anything! Popular items are tacos, spicy international fare, homemade mac and cheese, lasagna. They aren’t crazy about fish dishes. This offering also helps the GL stretch their budget a bit. Given school vacations and summer break, it works out to about 8 Fridays per year. Of course, to make it really special, you can bring food, stay and serve and get to know the kids and they you!!! That really is the best part.
Here is a brief 101 refresher course in how it works:
sign up sheet on t/t table
casserole dishes on t/t table
4 casseroles are needed for one Friday per month – probably the last Friday as before
cooked and ready to serve delivered by 5 – handed off at GL to a Gamer for delivery upstairs
need to be reheated – deliver by 4 as above
may be delivered to ALL ABOUT GAMES store below GL any time during that day with instructions
I would very much like to hear from you soon: If you’d like to be a cook; If there are times you are not going to be available to cook (this helps in planning a rotation of cooks); any further ideas you may have, please share.
GAME LOFT has been an integral part of St. Margaret’s church since it began 20 years ago. Let’s keep that relationship going and make it even better this time around!!! Please join us.
