This need is also listed on our “Volunteer” page.  I’ve decided to post it here in hopes that someone will see it a little easier and consider helping us out on Fridays.

Each Friday Asha’s Refuge holds English Conversation and Kindergarten Readiness Classes for refugee women and preschoolers at New Bethel Church in Germantown, TN off of Poplar Pike. We want to serve them snacks or either a light lunch during our large group time where we enjoy socializing and practicing our English conversation. We need help from our community to provide the food and drinks.

Here’s What We Really Need:  Small Groups to work together to purchase and prepare snacks or finger foods for approximately 20 ladies and then bring them to our English Conversation Class at New Bethel each Friday.  Snacks should be ready to serve by 11:45am.  The snacks should be simple and not too messy.  PLEASE NO PORK. Small groups may contact us to sign-up for a particular Friday.

Some suggested foods are: peanut butter and jelly or turkey sandwiches, fried chicken, cheese pizza, chips, all fruits, nuts, seeds and dates, cookies/brownies, cupcakes and raw vegetables. For drinks, refugees enjoy mango, grape and orange juice, fruit punch, all sodas (esp. orange and lime) and water.

Please arrive at the church at 11:30am with your foods already prepared so that they can be served by 11:45am. Set up your refreshments including all paper products (which your small group will need to provide). Enjoy socializing and eating with our refugee friends. Please prepare to stay and help clean up after lunch and leave about 12:45. Your help is very much appreciated!
