CASA MARIA – FRIDAY, JUNE 28 – 5 PM IN THE COOL PARISH CENTERToday's menu consists of one ham and cheese with relish sandwich, one egg salad sandwich, two cookies, and a piece of fruit such as an apple, orange, or a banana. Volunteers from the parish are asked to donate two-dozen hard-boiled (shelled) eggs to make up the egg salad sandwiches. When school is in session, students are asked to bring hard-boiled eggs which they are still generously doing except in the summer months.
Church volunteers who have either a truck or van deliver the 500 lunches, with about 100 or more extra sandwiches and soup, to the Casa Maria Soup Kitchen located on East 26th. The lunches are served the next morning for lunch.
St. Michael's has streamlined the system whereby delivery is ready in just two hours. Although we call for volunteers for 5:00 PM, we must always be ready to start work at 6:00 PM. Approximately 30 dozen eggs are needed to make a suitable sandwich. About 30 volunteers are needed at each session to have a smooth and effective operation.
It costs the meals program approximately $350 each month to supply the needs such as meat, cheese, mustard, relish, sandwich bags, brown bags, bread, cookies, and fruit. All monies are contributions to the meals program and not from church funds.
