Monthly Meals for Our Unhoused Neighbors
The homeless population has grown significantly in recent years, and there is a great need for help.
We are preparing meals and snack bags to be distributed to the homeless in our community.
This will be an ongoing project to serve others with basic needs. If you would like to help, bring any of the items listed below to the church and place them in the containers in the lobby.
Monetary donations are also accepted; make your check payable to Alameda Church of Christ, and write "Homeless Meals" on the memo line.
These meals are distributed by Norman Caravan. For any other questions or to get involved, contact Tammy Hughes.
NEEDED:
Volunteers to help prepare meals once per month
Non-perishable food such as fruit cups, soft granola bars, pudding cups
"Don't forget to do good, and to share with those in need." Hebrews 13:16
