Celebrate the New Year with the Men of Leland Place

Come out of the cold and into a warm kitchen on Saturday, January 21 -- and help prepare a meal for the men of Leland Place, a halfway house on North Capitol Street for men in recovery from homelessness and addiction.

We are scheduled to gather in the church kitchen at 2:30 p.m. with the goal of carpooling to Leland, a facility of SOME (So Others Might Eat), and sharing the meal at 5 p.m. We will return to the church at around 6:30. Volunteers generally share the cost of the meal (up to $20 per volunteer) but volunteers who simply want to donate labor and time are more than welcome.

To reserve your place, please RSVP to Dave Skidmore at dave_skidmore@verizon.net.

At our last meal, Eric Solomon, Bill Baker, Marsha Silverberg, and Dave served up some pre-Christmas cheer at Leland on December 17 -- along with baked ham, scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, and steaming homemade apple crisp served with vanilla ice cream.
