Attn: Small Groups!

If your small group is looking for a service opportunity, consider serving a meal together at Breakthrough Urban Ministries!

Every month, the Volunteer Coordinators at Breakthrough have a list of several open nights that, for whatever reason, don't have a group coming in to serve dinner. As a single, one-time commitment, your small group can fill in and serve dinner together on any of the available nights.

After finding an open night that works for your small group - just get together and plan the menu. It usually works great to have each person or couple bring a specific dish. Plan to feed about 40-45 people (30 guests at Breakthrough, 10 volunteers - or however many are in your small group, and 2 staff).

A typical meal might look like this:
7 PM - you'll be at Breakthrough - prepping the meal and setting the condiments and tables. 8 PM - dinner is served! Try to clean as you go because after the guys eat, they'll start their chores right away and you'll get kicked out of the kitchen. Your group should be out of there and on your way home by 9 PM.

Also, Don and I are more than happy to help with any questions you might have or ideas you might want to bounce off us. We'll even join your group on your service night if you want us to and help you navigate the kitchens. And you can even go directly through Breakthrough to arrange it if you don't want to deal with us. :)
