S.O.M.E. Volunteers
What is S.O.M.E.?
Westmoreland has had a long-standing commitment to
S.O.M.E. (So Others May Eat). Originally a soup kitchen, it has, in the
last thirty years, evolved into a comprehensive social services agency
addressing the emergency and rehabilitative needs of the homeless and
most needy and vulnerable of the city. Over 900 nutritious meals are
served each day in an atmosphere of caring. The need is great!
Our Commitment and Your Opportunity
We have been providing breakfast foods for the
first Thursday of each month, for over 20 years. We are currently
providing a lunch casserole, all of us making the same recipe (at
S.O.M.E.'s request). Everything else, including the delivery schedule,
remains the same. Items
may be brought to church any day of the month. Casserole
pans and copies of the recipe are available on the "What's Happening"
table. Casseroles should be tightly covered with foil. (Please do not
use plastic wrap as casseroles go from freezer to oven without being
uncovered.) Label your casserole for S.O.M.E. If you are unable to shop
and assemble a casserole, S.O.M.E. still accepts cereal and juice
(plastic bottles or cans). Place those labeled items on the counter in
the kitchen. Thank you! The recipients of your contributions of food
are deeply grateful for your generosity.
Additional drivers are needed to deliver the
casseroles. If you can help, please contact the Church office at
301-229-7766. The delivery schedule for 2010 is as follows:
