Volunteer Opportunity: 2010-11 Season of PADS Lunch Preparation

On the fourth Tuesday of every month (from September through April), SEYA gathers at 7:30 p.m. for about 1 hour to prepare bagged lunches for the guests at PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter). It is a fulfilling opportunity to serve the poor and to share that experience with your peers and friends.

If your calendar is open from 7:30-8:30 pm on any of the Tuesdays listed below, please consider volunteering to prepare meals for PADS. We will need 2 types of volunteers each month: (1) someone to host meal preparation at their home and coordinate the purchase of the food and drinks; and (2) individuals who will arrive at the host's home at 7:30 to make sandwiches and bag the lunches.

Please reply to Sara Paguia at paguiasa@yahoo.com with the date(s) that you would like to host meal preparation this year. After coordinating the host sites, Sara will circulate an email each month requesting volunteers to prepare the lunches.

Here are the Tuesdays that we will gather to prepare lunches:

September 28- Sara & Emil Paguia to host
October 26
November 23
December 28
January 25
February 22
March 22
April 26

If you have any questions, contact Sara at 847-770-1571 or paguiasa@yahoo.com.
