You may drop off food items in the kitchen during the day or arrive at 5:30pm before the shelter opens. Please identify your food items for Safe Harbor and also put your name on your containers so they can be returned to you. Disposable containers may be used if appropriate. In 2008 – 2009 we average 18 to 40 guests per night plus servers and the evening visitor volunteers, so your food quantities can be planned accordingly. Dinner is scheduled to be served from 6:00pm – 7:30pm and those bringing meals are encouraged to stay and serve the meal as well as assist with clean up.
