Holiday PACEM Support (Meal Program)

 Church of the Incarnation Holiday PACEM Support December 20, 21, 22, & 23 Meals Program   

Traditionally, at this time of year, many of us at the Church of the Incarnation would be getting ready to once again provide hospitality to our People and Congregations Engaged in Ministry (PACEM) guests.  We would be converting our PAC into a warm, welcoming, and lovable shelter for two weeks for the homeless men in our community, and eagerly signing up to provide meals, activities, and fellowship for our guests. This year is different and we will not be hosting but rather providing the food for other host churches.

To meet that need, PACEM has lined up 5 downtown churches with large spaces (to provide proper distancing) to house the men for one month at a time.  Other churches that have traditionally hosted, such as Incarnation, are being asked to provide food to assist these shelters.  In December the men will be housed at First United Methodist

We have signed up to provide  24 meals each night for December 20, 21, 22, and 23. This is a special opportunity to serve the people who do not have their own place to stay during the winter months and share in God’s Abundance.

Here is what will be needed each day.

• 3 Main Meal Cooks to each provide 8 boxed meals (there will be a set menu and containers will be provided) Recipes will be provided for the Chicken casserole and the Cordon Bleu
• 2 Dessert Cooks to each provide 15 desserts (cookies or brownies) in baggies
• 1 person to provide 24 salty snacks
• 1 Deliverer of the food (pick up the food at Incarnation and drive it to the host site)
• 1 Lead Coordinator for each day to call and remind people of their commitment
