The Daily Planet is pleased to announce a new volunteer program. We need groups of 4 to 10 people to provide meals for the residents living at our Medical Respite and Safe Haven programs.

Your group can provide meals one time, every month, bi-monthly, or quarterly. Your group purchases food, prepares the meals and brings it to the facility to serve to the residents. Medical Respite has 21 patients and Safe Haven also has 21 residents. The average meal costs between $50 and $75 depending on what you choose to serve. Menu examples include meatloaf, spaghetti or order take-out pizza, a side dish (vegetable), bread and a small dessert. You are encouraged to bring enough food for your group to eat with the residents. Feel free to stay and visit for up to an hour. This volunteer program is not just about feeding the body, it’s also about feeding the spirit through fellowship.
