New Procedures for 2021
**Due to Pandemic, volunteers are able to pick up pre-ordered dinner items from a local restaurant and drop off at Homeless Solutions. Their staff will serve the meals to residents**
Or
**Volunteers can, if they feel comfortable, continue to shop and cook the meals at Homeless Solutions. Strict Covid protocols are in place to protect residents and volunteers**
Are you looking for a new way to help out a neighbor in need? Homeless Solutions provides a hands on opportunity to help feed adults, children and families. Four times a year, faithful members of our congregation volunteer their time to provide dinner for the Homeless Solutions Shelter in Morris Plains. Once again, we are in need of volunteers to
- Deliver a pre ordered catering meal to Homeless Solutions, or
- Grocery shop and
- Cook and serve the meals.
For Meal delivery, the meal is picked up at Anthony’s in Bernardsville and delivered to HSI by 5:30pm. For grocery shopping, the list is provided and you are reimbursed for the purchases. Shopping is done Saturday morning (or Friday ) and delivered to the shelter. For cooking, you arrive at 4:00 pm to begin cooking, and the recipes are provided. Dinner is served at 6pm and clean up is done by shelter residents. You are finished by 7:00 pm. We will provide very detailed instructions and help you every step of the way.
Our 2021 Dates are:
- Saturday April 10
- Saturday June 12
- Saturday September 11
- Saturday November 13
