On Tuesday nights, volunteer groups from the community prepare, provide, and serve meals to the families in our Transitional Housing and at our Transitional Living and Learning Center (TLLC). Our families are working hard to make the transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency and we like to bless their efforts with a meal
so that they can focus on Tuesday Life Skills Classes. This is a great opportunity to serve SAMMinistries’ families first hand.

MEALS MUST BE SERVED AT 5:30PM
Past meals have included:
- Side: Salad, Green beans, fruit, corn-on-the-cob, chips, mashed potatoes.
- Main Dish: Casserole, pasta, barbeque, hamburger, hot dogs, subs.
- Desert: Fruit salad, pudding , brownies, cookies, cake, ice cream
- Beverage: Tea, lemonade, and punch. (TLLC has an ice machine)

Attendees:
- Volunteer teams should consist of at least six group members
- Youth volunteers are welcome to help as long as accompanied by parents or guardians
- Teams should expect to feed an average of 100-120 people
The Average cost of this meal is reported to be $200-$300.

Schedule:

- If the meal will be prepared in the TLLC kitchen, then we suggest arriving around 3:30 to
begin preparing the meal.

down tables, place chairs at tables, prepare drinks and ice cups, and set up meal for
distribution).
- Life Skill Classes begin at 6:30, so clean-up may begin as early as 6:15pm. In order to ensure that
all families receive a meal, we ask that seconds not be served until 6:10 p.m.
What to bring:

- Dish Soap (for your use only) and Cleaning sponge (optional)
- Any serving utensils necessary
