Fifth Saturday

The St. Vincent dePaul Society of St. Michael's has partnered with Transfiguration
parish in an outreach to the homeless that provides meals on Saturday afternoons: specifically,  our volunteer day is the fifth Saturday of the month, which occurs about 3-4 times per year.
Due policy changes in Cobb County, only commercially prepared food may be served.  So monetary donations for purchase of food are appreciated. On the 5th Saturday food is brought to a designated site at the church (usually the Old Rectory), loaded into volunteers' cars or trucks, and transported to a place where the homeless gather. 
    Volunteers are needed to:
           a.  pick up food, and fill 'go bags'
           b.  move food to cars or trucks,
           c.  and deliver the food. 
The set-up and delivery take about 2-3 hours.  Food is delivered, depends on the season, between 12-1 pm (winter) or 1-2:30 (summer), and carpools and trucks leave for the site at 1:15pm (in the winter), or at 2:45 (summer).  If you are going to the site separately, be there by 2:15pm (winter) or 2:45pm (summer) .  
     This is a volunteer opportunity for those who love to serve food to others, and who have a heart for conversation and fellowship.

Contact Mary Jo Jenner (mjen6@aol.com) for questions and to volunteer.

The remaining Fifth Saturday in 2019 occurs on November 30.
