I-HELP Dinner on August 22nd and Nov 28th
Esperanza’s Outreach Team is partnering with Desert Cross Lutheran Church in Tempe to serve the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP). This ministry provides shelter nights to homeless adults as well as a case management program that assists with finding employment.
We have committed to serving on these Tuesdays: July 25 (completed), Aug. 22, and Nov. 28. Linda Dickson, John Gemma, Shirley Huntley, and Molly Hurst have trained with the serving team.
The experience includes providing dinner and making sack lunches for the following day. Volunteers are needed to prepare food, serve guests, and participate in mealtime activities. Macaroni and cheese, sausage, and ground beef are available for use for the meals. Sign-up has begun for those who can help on July 25 between 4 and 7 p.m. at Desert Cross, 8600 S. McClintock Drive in Tempe. Online sign-up is below.
