FCC has been involved in a ministry with the Annex Family Shelter, a St. Vincent de Paul housing program, for over 30 years.

The program houses approximately 60 people at a time in the Annex building where the families can stay 24/7 as they wait for permanent housing.

We currently provide a hot dinner on the second Saturday and a cold breakfast on the second Sunday of the month. 

With the Shelter Committee in the Lead Cook roles, you are invited to join us in making a meal for the Annex Family Shelter in our church kitchen.

Quarterly, you may also sign up to donate nonperishable foods that are needed to prepare the dishes, or to make a monetary donation to the restricted Annex Family Shelter account for the purchase of perishable ingredients.

Here are your opportunities to be of service to our community:

COOK FOR THE SHELTER (usually 2nd Saturday of the month)

Be one of the 3 assistants to the Lead Cook in the FCC kitchen to create a meal, clean up and deliver the meal to The Annex. The meal may include entre, vegetable, salad, bread and cookies.

BUY NON-PERISHABLE CASSEROLE INGREDIENTS

A new food list will appear by Sept. 15 and then we will be collecting the donated food downstairs on September 27 before and after church.
