Send Email

When you sign up following the volunteer link, you will receive an email on Mondays containing that week's shopping list. In that email, you will be prompted to "opt-in" to that week's delivery, which helps us estimate how many meal kits we will get.

Shop the list and follow instructions (e.g. - if the list says "dried black beans" do not purchase canned.) Drop off the bag at First Unitarian Universalist Church on Sunday between 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM.
