Meal Program at FBC

Really great lunch this past Saturday. John and I were working the kitchen assisted by Chris, Jeremy and Marty. We were so grateful for their help as we were pretty busy. This week we served barbecue chicken, roasted potatoes, roasted veggies, hot bread from our friends at Bonnie Breads, and lentil soup from our friends at Depot Diner. The guests really enjoyed the meal and were very appreciative. For dessert there were cookies as well as assorted Halloween treats. Liz, mysel… See more

John and I worked the lunch this past week. Working along side of us was Chris, Jeremy, Bryce, Madeline and Sawyer. We had a really hearty meal for a crisp Autumn day. We had a pasta cheese bake, hot Italian bread, chef salad, Depot diner's chicken lemon soup, fresh fruit cup and cheesecake. There were assorted beverages as well as hot coffee to complete the meal. We had26 diners eat in and 12 utilize the "to go " option. Everyone seemed pleased with the meal and everything went smoothly. With such a great crew cleanup was a breeze and we finished in record time. All food was handed out to grateful guests. We will also be working next Saturday as well and if anyone would like to drop off a bag of Halloween candy that we can distribute to our guests it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again to our volunteers for all their hard work. I love this weather, it is my favorite time of year. I only wish the Fall was several months instead of a few weeks. Enjoy the vibrant colors and the beautiful weather. Till next week... Eileen & John

This past Saturday was actually Team 4. we swapped with them as many of the workers are looking forward to attending the upcoming woman's retreat. Terry and Ed were in on Friday making their fabulous shepherd's pie. On Saturday Cindy, Pam, Karen, Jeremy, and Marty were hard at work reheating the pie as well as creating a garden salad and fresh fruit salad. They also steamed carrots and warmed the chicken barley soup donated by Depot Diner. This week 18 people chose the dine in option and 10 opted for to go. The dessert this week was cheese cake topped with fresh strawberries (huge hit!!). Thank you Team 4 for all your hard work. Thank you also to Calvary Christian Church, who generously donated the produce for salads. Have a great week> please remember we are still seeking Halloween candy for our guests. Thanking everyone in advance. Hope all the ladies have a great time on the retreat. Eileen & John

Wow, what an awesome lunch this past Saturday. Team 2 was up, with Liz, Tom, Deb Mallon, Deb McHugh and Jeremy. The meal began with hot coffee and pastries plus a chicken rice soup from our friends at Depot Diner. The main meal was barbeque chicken, chef salad, corn bread, fresh strawberries and cantaloupe, and homemade oatmeal raisin cookies. 26 guests dined in house while 10 guests utilized the to go option. They all loved the meal and were very appreciative. I know our guests love the creativity and variety of the meals served here and we have all our fantastic volunteers to thank for that. till next week. Thank you again to team 2 for all their hard work. Welcome back Liz!! Eileen & John

I am so behind in posting. we had some medical issues that needed to be addressed so again my apologies. August 27 Team 4 was working hard in the kitchen. Volunteers were Cindy, Pam Karren, Deb, Jeremy and Terri. Terri and Ed came in earlier in the week and made a fantastic pasta salad. This week due to a generous donation from our friends at Calvary Christian Church we were making turkey BLT rollups. We have served these in the past and they are a huge hit. There was fresh fruit salad, assorted drinks, chips, soup from our friends at Depot Diner, and a cake frosted with whipped cream that had fresh strawberries for the topping. We have seen a huge increase in the numbers and have been preparing forty meals. All were distributed. Even Monday night supper gets at least 35 diners. Thank you Team 4 for doing such a great job, and a special thanks to my husband who went in to teach the team how to do a rollup. (he could get a job at Super Sub with his sandwich skills.)

This past weekend was Team 1 with Gail, Coleen, Lauren and Jeremy. This is the week Gary and Karen generously donate 40 box lunches from Jersey Mikes. There are assorted subs and the guests love them. along with this there was Depot Diner soup, fruit salad, pastries and assorted beverages. It was a full house and all 40 meals were distributed to a very happy group. Thank you Team 1 for giving up a beautiful Saturday on a holiday weekend to help feed our neighbors in need. Till next week.. Eileen & John
