The meal is typically salad, chicken broccoli ziti, sandwiches, pizza, cookies, etc. Unfortunately, we can not accept sign up or payment the day of – so please sign up and pay before Wednesday, June 8th. You may want to bring a chair or a blanket to sit on outside or you may sit on the sidewalk and grass. We will also need volunteers (see Volunteer section of this packet) to help set up for the meal, hand out tickets during the meal, and someone to help clean up after. Thank you!
