Root Cellar Team

Root Cellar Team

On Thursday, October 27 a team that has been together for some time was called to serve another of our three or four yearly meals at the Root Cellar located on Washington Avenue in Portland. The team this time consisted of Carol Bruneau, Kathy Brann, Barbara Kenney, Brad Morrison, Keith Snoddy, and Marlene and Art Tordoff. A team from the Root Cellar now offers a spiritual moment for those who are there from the local community before the meal. Most of those present are boys and girls of varying ages who frequently use the services provided at the Cellar. A few of the staff and others who offer time and talent to the community were also in attendance. Over 40 children streamed through the door to eat Spaghetti and meatballs, salad and some homemade desserts. Our jobs center on the preparation of the food and serving cafeteria-style. Usually at least one of us will take on the responsibility of cleaning tables before the children arrive and then washing and drying the various utensils used both earlier in the day as well as what we have used in the preparation and serving of the meal.

We will be doing more with the Root Cellar before the year is over and again in serving meals next year. If you are looking for a mission outside of the church to be a part of such as the Root Cellar please contact Carol about your interest. While we have singled out one of our mission activities there are others that you will hear about over time.
