Breakfast Bag sponsors are needed for "to go" items like packaged fruit cups, baked goods, granola bars, juice bottles and small cereal boxes. Consider dropping off some items on your way to work. We have a Drive-thru & Drop off option! Or have your service group assemble breakfast or snack bags for our guests to take for the day, as they head off to the hospital to be with their loved one or to receive their outpatient treatments. Are you part of a company or restaurant who would be able to sponsor a breakfast? Group Commitment: 1x per quarter or per year, food supplies enough to serve 10-15 people. Host every Wednesday, but flexible for drop-off items. We are now scheduling Breakfast Sponsors to help support our weekly Breakfast Bags. See our emPower in an Hour Kits https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/BCR0B9112N5U/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex?pldnSite=1 or purchase items at Costco or Target and bring them to the Guest House.

We're looking for individuals or groups to make Welcome Bags and Comfort Cards to give our medical and veteran guests who are staying here at the Guest House. Those staying with us are traveling long distances away from home and often spend long days in the hospital with their loved one or have outpatient treatments. A welcome gift in their room when they first arrive at the Guest House definitely lifts their spirits during this difficult, stressful time. This can be done offsite (not exactly virtual we know) at your location or in our Guest House Community Room. Suggested contents range from water bottle, trail mix, granola bars, pretzels, sanitizer wipes, plus an encouraging greeting card all contained in a bag with handles. Please feel free to include additional items such as corporate swag, creativity is encouraged. After assembling, a few volunteers can deliver to each guest door of those staying at the Guest House or we have an easy drive-thru drop off option and Guest House staff/volunteers will deliver the bags to guest rooms. Shop at a warehouse store, dollar store or purchase an "emPower in an Hour" Kit on our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/BCR0B9112N5U/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex?pldnSite=1 Commitment: 1x per quarter or per year, need enough supplies to make 25 - 50 bags depending on your budget and size of your group. Consider sponsoring supplies if your group is unable to assemble bags. COVID-19 Best Practices: We ask that if coming to the Guest House, that all volunteers be healthy the day of the project. You will have your temperature taken and will need to wear masks while participating in this volunteer activity.

We now have a hybrid model of Meal Making! Individuals and groups needed to make or cater a warm meal and deliver to those requesting them staying at the Guest House. Some medical or veteran guests may join us for conversation and dinner in our Community Room. Those staying with us often spend long days in the hospital with their loved one or have outpatient treatments - a dinner they didn't have to make themselves would feed their stomachs as well as their weary souls. We have a kitchen stocked with cooking utensils and a double oven. Volunteers need to arrive by 4:00p, no later than 4:45p with dinner supplies or the catered meal. To-Go dinner bags are assembled and delivered between 5:30 - 6:00pm to guest's doors. Sit-down dinner is at 6:00p, after cleanup, you'll be finished by 7:30p. We have dinners for our guests regularly scheduled on *Tuesday or Thursday nights at the Guest House. Menu suggestions for meals: Soup & Salad Nite, Beef Stew & Biscuits, Mac & Cheese with Rotisserie Chicken, or Pizza - think Comfort Food. We're open to your menu ideas. A great idea to get your team back together doing good. Please contact me if you're interested in joining us and I will send you the Meal Maker Criteria. *We are now booking Thursdays, December 8 & 15 and Thursdays in January & February. We ask that all volunteers be healthy the day of the project. You will have your temperature taken and will need to wear masks while participating in this volunteer activity.
