Print this Article | Send to Colleague
MPIGNY is starting the new year off right with another volunteer session at God's Love We Deliver, once again providing help in the kitchen.
Thursday, January 14, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
*Please note the time change.* Due to scheduling changes at GLWD, the session is extended by one hour. In addition, please note, volunteer shifts are now limited to six people. Gloves and masks will be provided to all volunteers.
Due to social distancing guidelines, our assistance is needed now more than ever. God’s Love has had to minimize the number of people in the building overall and in the kitchen area especially. Yet they are still committed to serving over 10,000 meals per day. If you have not yet had a chance to join us, please consider signing up for this or a future upcoming session.
If this session time is not convenient for you, check out the God's Love volunteer calendar for more volunteer opportunities. With numerous sessions scheduled each day, you are bound to find one or two that fit your schedule!
If you are not able to volunteer, there are still several ways you can help!
The Cards of Caring campaign offers an opportunity to share a message of caring to brighten someone’s day. Many of GLWD’s clients are homebound senior citizens who, in this climate, are unable to have visitors of any kind. A cheerful note to let them know they are not forgotten can be a welcome reprieve from their solitude. The website provides guidelines on creating the cards, but feel free to be as creative as you would like. And if you have children at home, this is a perfect activity to help pass the time in quarantine!
In addition, God’s Love has two additional giving opportunities to donate much-needed funds.
- COVID-19 Emergency Fund for clients of God’s Love: $54 funds a shelf-stable meal bag, and $100 funds a week of meals for a client living with serious illness. Please give what you can. Any amount helps!
- Birthday Bake Sale: God’s Love bakes and personalizes birthday cakes for their clients living with serious illness. Your donation contributes toward the purchase of ingredients, baking, decorating and packaging of these special cakes.
