First Reform Meals
First Reformed Church, Downtown Lancaster, PA
From the moment you see the lines of hungry people lined up outside First Reformed Church, you will know that you are about to make a profound difference in the lives of these men, women and children. No training (or cooking!) needed. Just bring your warm smile and heart to set up, serve and cleanup afterwards. Volunteers are needed from 5 pm to 6:30 pm. They are also asked to bring two gallons of ice tea and a bag of fresh, easy-to-chew fruit.
