Introducing the SonRise Casserole Crew!
We’re excited to launch a new ministry led by Boo Padgett and Jenny DeVan to support the ongoing work of SonRise Servers, a group of volunteers who meet downtown on the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Saturdays of each month to serve breakfast to our unhoused neighbors in Savannah.
To support this ministry, a small team will now meet monthly on the first Thursday at 2PM in the main kitchen to prepare breakfast casseroles for the month ahead. This is a simple yet meaningful way to serve behind the scenes and help provide warm meals with care and consistency. The team is looking for 4–5 volunteers each month to help cook and prepare casseroles.
