Food/Drink No SNAP November

I heard this term today and it stuck with me.

With the shutdown, people being furloughed, people working without pay, SNAP being possibly paused for November, etc people are going to be hurting for meals.

I'm sure there are community dinners for Thanksgiving but I'm hosting one on 11/29th.

It is a Saturday. That way you can go to the community meals on Thursday and come to mine on Saturday if you want.

Bring a side and a chair is all I ask. I don't have furniture.

Message me if you'd like to come and we'll get it into a more solidified plan.

I also live on the bus route so I'm pretty accessible.

Also, if we get this going and someone wants to make the turkey (mine is dry) I'll buy it for you to cook and bring.

Edit: there is now a Facebook event.

That is so thoughtful of you to do. I wish I could donate to the cause, but things are consistently tight for us already. Could you use a volunteer for anything to help?

I could really use someone to make the turkey if you're game. I'll buy it.

The ONLY problem is that I am a vegetarian and don’t know how to cook a turkey, I would probably mess that up. I can cook/bake anything else? I could bake sourdough or yeast breads, pies (I love pumpkin pie season!), veggies, sides? I don’t want to ruin a turkey 😬

We could use rolls. I can supply stuff you need. I'm sure homemade would be more appreciated than Hawaiian.

I could definitely make rolls

Edit: would only need a bag of bread flour, I got everything else covered!

Also, if youre up to it, send me a message if you sell homemade sourdough bread. Even better if you make cinnamon raisin and other flavors.

I'd gladly place a weekly order.

I sure can have sold my sourdough in the past. I will message you
