3. Serve it to the residents! Depending on your budget and group size, you can choose to feed the Men’s Shelter, Women’s Shelter, Family Shelter or any combination of the three! (Approximately there are 400 men, 90 women and 150 families.) Volunteer groups must not exceed 20 volunteers. All volunteers must be 12 or older.
