Storm Emergency Food Program

When the lights went out Tuesday, August 4, most of us had to quickly adapt to losses in the community and at home. One of those losses was the all-important cup of morning coffee and a hot meal during the day. I enlisted the UCC Fellowship Committee to create a storm emergency meal program. During the Covid crisis, the program will be take-out only and will consist of a continental breakfast and a hot lunch, to be available starting the second day of a power outage until it returns. Church volunteers will use the health department-approved Parish House kitchen (and gas stove) to prepare and package the food. Grants for a generator may mean additional services that would require electricity could be added.
