DiscipleChurch Breakfast Volunteer Appreciation

By December 12, 2019

Charme Robarts and her team of dedicated volunteers devote their time (and their kitchens) to those of us in need.

DiscipleChurch Breakfast volunteer, Mary Weathers shares a Bible verse that inspired her to serve in this wonderful ministry:

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” — Matthew 25:35

Mary goes on to share that ever since reading this scripture as a teenager she has always sought opportunities for service. “And now in my declining years,” she says, “my church has this opportunity for service. The blessings are mine. I see Jesus every Sunday morning in my colleagues who help serve — and in our guests who eat with us.”

Every week in Wesley Hall this steadfast group brings loads of food to serve platefuls of savory and sweet breakfast foods to some of our neighbors who live on the streets.  Every week, these volunteers arrive before 7:00 am with casseroles, biscuits and gravy, ham, donuts, pastries, tater tots, fruit, and items for making snack bags for Sunday afternoon. Every week, four tables end to end are full of food that our 70 or more guests can often come back for seconds. Every week, 20-25 volunteers serve up food, love, and encouragement.

Thanks to these devoted volunteers, Christmas comes every week for some of those who are hungry in our community. Please join us in this shout-out of appreciation and gratitude for this great volunteer team, especially during this Advent season when need is so great.

In addition to recognizing the loyal list below, we also invite and encourage anyone interested in becoming part of this congenial breakfast crew to contact Charme — or just show up with your home-cooked breakfast items!
