Midvale Family Resource Center
Make sack lunches for preschool children staying at the Midvale Family Resource Center. Please check the current number of lunches requested on your service days prior to purchasing food. Due to security and confidentiality concerns, groups will not be allowed to distribute the lunches to the children. We distribute first to the pre-school age children, and then to the older family members. For detailed guidelines, please see the Health Department’s Food Safety Guide.
Pamela Atkinson Resource Center
Make to-go meals for the single men at the Pamela Atkinson Resource Center (PARC). Many of the individuals staying at the PARC may be away from the facility during meal times for a variety of reasons – employment, doctor’s appointments, job interviews, housing applications or inspections, etc. – and your generosity helps us to ensure that everyone has a chance to eat.
We do not have any dietary restrictions. 30-50 meals are appreciated, and we can take up to 100. For more detailed guidelines on preparing to-go meals please see the Health Department’s Food Safety Guide.
Midvale Family Resource Center
When providing shelter dinners, we kindly ask groups to provide all of the food and paper products needed for your particular dinner. We ask that the food be pre-made and brought to the shelter ready to serve.
The Health Department is no longer requiring permits; however, they are strongly recommending that all food be prepared in a non-residential kitchen. For more detailed guidelines on preparing meals for our families and individuals please see the Health Department’s Food Safety Guide.
Midvale Family Resource Center
The Midvale Family Resource Center playroom is available on Tuesday nights to schedule group activities with the kids. Play games, coordinate learning activities, facilitate arts and crafts, be a mentor to the children who are staying in shelter with their family.
