Mission Of The Month
The “Mission of the Month” in April is SBPC Weekend Hot Meals.
I bet you have heard of Meals on Wheels. It is a national program that delivers nutritious meals to seniors who have difficulty accessing food due to mobility issues or other challenges. Did you know that Meals on Wheels does not deliver meals to these seniors on the weekend? But, SBPC does for about 30 seniors in the Spring Branch area on the 4th Saturday of the month. Lu Taylor takes the lead in this wonderful mission.
We have 2 routes; therefore, we usually need 4 volunteers to split the delivery of about 30 hot meals on the 4th Saturday of the month. The 2 groups pick up the delicious, hot lunches from Pappy’s Restaurant at 11:00 AM at 12313 Katy Freeway. SBPC pays somewhere between $4 and $5 for each meal, with Pappy’s contributing the remainder of their costs. The delivery is your donation, which takes about an hour from the time you pick up the lunches to completing the route. Lu Taylor sends you the route and instructions a few days before your time.
For those of you with kids, this is a great way to show them how they can help and serve people by doing something as simple as delivering a meal to them. It is a very rewarding experience for everyone and much appreciated by the receivers of the meals.
We hope you can help out by volunteering to deliver meals at least once this year. You can either contact Lu Taylor directly or sign-up online via this SignUp Genius LINK!
