MEAL TRAIN VOLUNTEERS NEEDED |
AT REDEEMER WE have been so fortunate as to have a large volunteer base for our many programs and projects! Some in our Redeemer family help fix or order meals and deliver them to fellow church members in need. We currently, however, are finding ourselves in need of some new additions to our list of those willing to take on a meal every so often. Below is a short explanation of the program written in the words of the program's founders.
Meal Train simplifies the organization of meal giving around significant life events. We strive to simplify and promote interpersonal relationships between friends, families, and neighbors through meals. Meal Train is rooted in the idea that a meal is a symbolic gesture of one person’s willingness to help another. The meal is a vehicle that allows the giving party the opportunity to show they care that they hope to reduce a burden, and they will be there for the receiving party in the future. This outreach is a true interpersonal connection and is one that helps foster inter-dependence, dialogue, and compassion.
If you are interested in having your name added to our list of volunteers, please call or email Rachel Williams 804-426-3877 or [email protected].
