TOL Tuesday Night Dinner Host Groups:
The Community Kitchen Branch of TOL Leesburg offers a Tuesday evening meal for those less fortunate or learning English in our community. We are very excited about nearing the completion of our second year in Leesburg. Volunteers provide a special service in growing this ministry. Small groups come together, such as family, friends, church groups, or school organizations, and commit to preparing, serving, and enjoying a meal. We strive to foster relationships, so please sit, eat, and converse with our partners and their children. Please sign-up below, and be sure to include your host group name and email so we can contact you concerning details.
Any questions please call: Marilyn Heigl, 703-431-9469, or email: [email protected]
We are operating out of Crossroads Baptist Church, 850 Edwards Ferry Rd, NE. Leesburg.
May you be blessed with the blessing of your service. Thank You.
DETAILED INFORMATION:
Your group will be asked to prepare a meal off site, set up, serve, enjoy a meal, and clean up. Please arrive at Tree of Life Leesburg (at Crossroads Baptist Church, 850 Edwards Ferry Rd. NE, Leesburg) at 5:30 for set up. The meal is served from 6-7 pm. Everyone pitches in to clean up, and you should be finished by 7:30. Our partners are inspired and grateful for your hard work, generosity, and relationship with them.
The host group provides a meal of their choice, including one main course, side dishes, dessert, and individual water bottles. It is best not to provide a potluck since you will be offering full plates of food to our partners and their families. Be prepared to serve 60-70 people and your group. Our attendance varies with time of year and weather. With any leftover food, we bless our partners to take home.
The meal must be prepared off site and brought to TOL ready to serve. The TOL facilitators will be there to answer any questions. Our kitchen is for serving and cleaning only, so please bring any crock pots and coolers as needed.
Note: We do need 4-6 people from the host group to help serve. Children are welcome with adult supervision. We do ask that babies and young children not be brought around the serving table for safety reasons.
