Provide a healthy, child-friendly meal on a Saturday or Sunday evening for the Families staying at Hawthorn Hill's New Directions Shelter. Dinner must be dropped off by 4:45pm and may be ready-to-eat or can be cooked/heated up at the shelter. Dinner would serve approximately 25-30 people, 2/3 of those children. No desserts necessary. This is an easy and fun way to volunteer at the shelter, whether you only want to provide one meal, or meals on a regular basis. Please call Melanie at 515-244-9748 or Kiana at 515-243-7456 to schedule. Thank you!
