Hi Blogees,
I want to break the mold a little bit here and talk about an upcoming event, one that I have done over the past few years at Wesley. Once a month the students at the Wesley Center serve in the Free Lunch Program. Free Lunch is available to anyone who needs it in the basement of the Wesley Center six days a week, Monday through Saturday. The students at Wesley serve on the second Tuesday of the month, coming up September 13.
Free Lunch is perfect for college students because there are a variety of jobs and timing is flexible. Any time that you can give between classes is valuable! We start prep work around 10 AM, serve the meal between Noon and 1 PM, and clean up until about 2 PM. It’s a great, hopefully convenient way for many of you to help serve the community.
This month I’m especially excited about Free Lunch because the University of Iowa Interfaith Service Group will be making Free Lunch their first service event of the year. The UIISG is a new organization on campus that brings together people of different faith backgrounds to do community service and subsequently talk about how service is important to everyone’s faith.
Hopefully you can join us for part of Free Lunch on September 13 between 10 AM and 2 PM. Whether it’s cooking, serving, or dishes we really appreciate your help. I’ll be back with a follow-up to tell you how the meal went.
