The Community Outreach Committee has volunteered to serve and coordinate additional items to the guests at the Warming Shelter. We welcome you to participate in the following ways:
Provide Donations of healthy beverages (water, sparkling water, juices-in single serving sizes), salad, cookies or brownies.
Help Serve from 6:30 to 7:30 or so. Three more servers are needed.

The organization that runs the shelter, Episcopal Community Services, does this primarily at Christ Episcopal Church, but also at Trinity Lutheran and New Bridges UMC (formerly Twin Towers).
