Hello Team
With October we will be kicking off the winter season and we are going to be changing things up a little bit.
First: We have been talking about making something other than grilled cheese sandwiches for a while now and are finally giving it a try. For October we will be making baked potatoes. We will have three kinds, Chili Cheese, Bacon and Cheese, and Sour Cream with Chives. We will also start going back to warm items like hot chocolate and coffee.
Second: We have also been talking about moving to a new distribution location, and we are also going to try this out in October. There are several reasons for this, such as us finding fewer and fewer unsheltered at our standard location, the construction that is happening in that area, and the increasingly hostile police involvement. October is also the month of the LDS General Conference so by moving to a different location we will try to get ahead of the encampment sweeps that always happen during conference weekend. We will more than likely be going to Cottonwood Park just off of Redwood Road, about a mile west from our normal location.
What we need from you: Instead of bread and sliced cheese, we are asking volunteers to please bring a block of cheese (we will shred it during the kitchen portion because shredded cheese is expensive), and a can or two of chili. The Kindness Project will provide the potatoes and other fixings.
Thank you for all you do, and for being flexible with us. I can’t wait to serve with you all this winter. I’m hoping to have new sweatshirts ready to go in either October or November.
