Casserole Friday

Looking ahead to the Friday before Christmas for casseroles.

Also, trying to get other stuff as well:

cans of soda: coke/ pepsi/ etc
indiv wrapped candy

Think out of the box.

Maybe socks/ backpacks/ blankets

Let me know if you can help

I am getting overwhelming response to the casseroles, etc for Fri Dec 22.
Both from my list and neighbors--seemingly all want to help: bake/ cook/
deliver/ serve/ etc.

Ive spoken to a bunch who want to come down and serve. It seems on top of
the casseroles I may be able to get people to donate other things as
well--but need to know what is needed.

Casseroles
Candy (indiv wrapped)

What else: clothes? gloves/ thermal underwear/ back packs/ sweatshirts

From the initial response it seems the means are there to get all this done,
but need to know numbers and where the needs are?

Are there families/ children as well or most adults?

Feel free to call me at 4104516809 if easier to discuss. The responses Ive
been getting is a great incentive and ready to go

This is from the deacon.

They have some 160 men who come to this church

Id like along with the casseroles to help them with a backpack/ bag of
goodies

Great response so far

Along with serving the casseroles for the friday before Christmas id like to see if we can hand out a backpack/ canvas bag of much needed goodies as well.

There are about 160 mostly men served at St Vincent DePauls in Baltimore.

So, still need the casseroles and also looking for:

such items as:
hats
sweatshirts
thermals
gloves
socks

candy/ indiv wrapped
gum
toothpaste/ toothbrush

cans of soda
juice boxes

ETC

Let me know if you can help excited to make this happen

Hello

I hope I am not stepping on anybody's toes. Just getting a bunch of positive responses and people very willing to help so kind of took off on its own.

We'll see what happens but excited at least the goal being to feed the homeless and hopefully have a back pack filled with stuff for each on the 4th friday
