Notes from Vivian

Thank you for volunteering to help with Lunch For The Soul (LFTS). Your time and help are greatly appreciated.

The menu is below. We are now offering the option to sign-up for a Virtual Casserole, a $40 donation to defray the cost of preparing the meal. Note "Virtual Casserole" on your donation.

Please have your prepared food (hot food should be hot/warm) to the Holy Cross kitchen by 11:15 AM at the latest on on the day of the event OR deliver the prepared food 1-2 days before the meal and place in the church refrigerator.

If delivering hot food 1-2 days ahead of time, note on the food container how to heat it the day of the meal (oven temperature and time) and let the church office know the food needs to be reheated.

Please contact Beverly Siecker (bsiecker1@Verizon.net) if you have any questions or concerns.
