A few more details…
Main Ask: Bring a hot dinner at 7pm to the UUCPA kitchen. (7pm is when Hotel de Zink opens). Sign up using the form above.
Edie and Beth are happy to have a conversation about what to bring or the amounts. Early dropoff may be possible, but you need to talk to us in advance. (If you just arrive at 6 pm, the kitchen is probably locked.)
Some people have figured out that Costco, Nob Hill or Safeway have delicious options that you just put in the oven – you are heating, not really cooking. Add a bag of ready-made salad too – or tubs of coleslaw or potato salad.
A little more expensive, but ordering food to go is also possible. If you pick it up and bring it to church at 7 pm, perfect! With advance notice, Edie can often pick up the order at 6:30. We have had meals from Mountain Mike Pizza, KFC, Baja Fresh, Panda Express, and others!.
Last thing – no cooking – could you be on site for a few nights 7-8 pm to help serve dinner? Mostly, Edie and Beth cover this. There are a few nights when both Beth and Edie are not available. Mainly – set out plates and serving utensils – then participants help themselves. A few other to-do’s, (call for help if dinner doesn’t come!) but understand that this is very easy but still appreciated.
Thank you!
