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.
On that day hot, prepared food is brought to a designated site at the church, loaded into volunteers' cars or trucks, and transported to a place where the homeless gather. 
    Volunteers are needed to:
           a.  prepare 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 ther by 2:15pm (winter) or 2:45pm (summer) .  
     This is a volunteer opportunity for those who love to cook for others, and who enjoy
serving food, and who have a heart for conversation and fellowship.

See the volunteer form for the up-coming Fifth Saturday below.

Fifth Saturdays in 2019 occur on March 30, June 29, August 30, and November 30.
A sample menu for December, 2016, is shown below.

Volunteers may participate in one or all of the activities.  Volunteers may furnish all or part of each menu item: The menu for the up-coming event will be listed when available.
