Community Outreach / Women's Shelter Meals
FUMC Gonzales For  almost  nine  years  now,  FUMC  Gonzales  has  provided  a  monthly  meal  for the  Bishop  Ott  SWEET DREAMS SHELTER  for  homeless  women  and children, located at St. Vincent de Paul campus  on Convention  Street  in  downtown  Baton Rouge. The  fourth Saturday  evening of every month, we have  faithfully fed 25-35 hungry women and their children through our church family's volunteer efforts.
It is time to create a new call list of people willing to help with this important duty. We need 2-3  people each month, including a driver, to prepare and transport this meal. The typical menu is main entree, side vegetable, salad & dressing, 3 dozen ready-to-serve rolls, and a simple dessert. We prepare the foo  at home, meet at an assigned place, and two people drive the food to the shelter for mealtime at 6 pm.  Usually we leave Gonzales by 5:15 pm and return home before 7:30 pm.

If you can help with this ministry a few times each year, we need you! Please see church newsletter for  details, or contact Kaye Hertwig at missions@firstumcgonzales.org to be on the call list. We welcome families and church groups, also.  This will be a rewarding use of your time.
