Summary
Help host our weekly Monday Simple Supper, which is a free hot meal open to all. Many attend who are homeless, vulnerably housed, or in food poverty.Detailed description
Please note that Simple Supper is paused during August, so we are recruiting volunteers to start in the autumn.
Each Monday, we host a warm meal, listening to each others' stories as we share our food together. Many attend who are homeless or in food poverty, as well as people from the local community and the St Paul's congregation. The meal is free, on a donate-what-you-can basis.
Hospitality volunteers arrive at 5.30pm, to help set up the room for the meal and welcome people as they arrive. You will sit and eat with everyone else, engaging those around them in conversation. Hospitality volunteers especially look out for people visiting for the first time, or anyone in particular need of warm welcome and company. Around 6.30pm, you will start helping clear away so that we are finished with kitchen clean up by 7pm.
The food is important, but what many volunteers find most meaningful about the evening is the chance to connect with people in their humanity and hear their stories.
