Ministry Information Sheet
ST JOHN'S HOSPICE CASSEROLE
| 1. | Description of Ministry | |||
| Each month numerous parishes, individuals and organizations throughout the Archdiocese provide the Hospice with homemade frozen casseroles. This meal program feeds thousands of homeless men each month - several hundred daily. | ||||
| 2. | Frequency/Schedule of Meetings/Activities | |||
| There are no meetings. Once per month or at his/her convenience, the volunteer prepares a casserole in aluminum pans available at the church exits and returns it frozen to the freezer in the church basement. From there, the casseroles are delivered to the St. John's Hospice by the coordinator or other volunteers. | ||||
| 3. | Where do I perform service? | |||
| In your own kitchen. | ||||
| 4. | Who are served? | |||
| The homeless men who come to St. John's Hospice, 1221 Race Street, Philadelphia for shelter and meals. | ||||
| 5. | Preparation | |||
| Use your own recipe or recipes provided by the coordinator. All food must be able to be eaten with a fork or spoon. It must not require cutting. Therefore, contents of the casserole must be bite-size or smaller. The casserole is a main meal for these men and the inclusion of protein is appreciated. | ||||
