Trinity Table

Another Opportunity to Serve – Trinity Table Soup Kitchen

Dunwoody UMC will prepare and serve lunch twice this year to over 300 homeless and working poor in downtown Atlanta at Trinity UMC.

Sunday, March 17,  30 volunteers will be needed to attend and serve this day from 11:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  Volunteers will feed the guests a hot lunch and provide them with a “to-go” bag that includes 3 sandwiches, a dessert, and a beverage.

We also need people to donate sandwiches and cook chili (recipe provided) prior to the event.
