At Dream Center Evansville, we strongly believe in the restorative power of a safe environment and a warm meal. After-school programming, one of our original programs, is at the heart of what we do. We know how important it is to provide comfort, care, and support to our students. When you join an after-school program, Meal Team, you join us in our efforts to share God's love with our students.
Mondays through Thursdays throughout the school year, we pick up our kids from Delaware, North Junior, or North High School and bring them back to DCE. Here, our students will have a warm meal, participate in a ministry lesson, and receive any other care they need. Our programming is where we can connect with kids after school and meet them where they are. We want you to be a part of this.
We love having community partners visit during our programming! Joining a Meal Team is a flexible and rewarding way to engage with our students. There are various options available, allowing you to choose the level of commitment.
What is a Meal Team?
A Meal Team comes in, on average, once a month to DCE to serve a meal to our students during program. There are several options when it comes to signing up to provide a meal. Meal Teams serve on Mondays & Wednesdays.
Meal Team Options:
Meal Team can source, cook, serve, and clean up the Meal
Meal team can cater the meal, and DCE will serve and clean up
*Meal teams are ALWAYS welcome to stay and visit with students and staff during meal time*
Food, Numbers, Timing:
Food choice is completely optional and up to the discretion of the Meal Team. If you are looking for suggestions, please don‘t hesitate to reach out.
We typically plan for around 60 students (we will contact you in a timely manner if this number changes).
Meals need to be ready to serve by 5:20 p.m. Dinner will begin at 5:30.
DCE will provide styrofoam containers in which the food will be placed for serving the meal. Once the containers are filled, all that is left to do is place them on the tables. The kids can self-serve with slight assistance from the Meal Team.
THANK YOU:
