We need many hands to serve this fabulous feast. From set-up and preparations early in the day, to the serving line and waiting tables, to dish-washing (just a little) and clean up, there are many ways to lend a hand. Even if you are unable to be a helper, be sure to come over and eat. Hand out flyers and invite others that you know to join us. And don’t forget to stop in the thrift shop for a bargain or two.
