Baking for Shelter
Here’s a wonderful way for people to give nourishment and love to others in need. The Extreme Weather Shelter is accepting baking every night for the guests. Currently up to 20 folks are welcomed. This will be every day until March 30.
If you want to donate baking you will need to sign up for a specific date via a signup online site. You can register to get on the site by contacting [email protected].
Baking items are only accepted Monday thru Friday and not on the weekend, from 9:00 Am to 12:00 noon. Baking can be dropped off at the front office, and the receptionist will place it in the fridge.
The suggested amount is 2-3 dozen items packaged individually in zip lock bags for each guest. More might be needed for the Friday drop off as it has to go over the weekend. Muffins, cookies, squares or other healthy items would be welcome.
