ON-LINE SIGN UP FOR SOS
SOS is still housing the homeless in a local area motel. We will be providing the following the week of Sunday, Nov. 21 through Saturday, Nov. 26:

1. Lunch supplies to each motel room at the beginning of the week for guests to make their own lunches each day. We are asking parishioners to sign-up to provide one motel room (with either an individual or a family of 3) a package consisting of 7 days of non-refrigerated lunch items. The items are to be packaged in GFS bags (available in the Social Hall) and be delivered to the church on Sunday, Nov. 21 (at any Mass) or Monday, Nov. 22 (from Noon-4pm).  A SEAS team will deliver all of the packages to the motel about 4:30 pm on Monday, Nov. 22. Suggestions for items are available on-line and or via a handout in the Social Hall.
2. A daily hot meal for each guest prepared and individually packaged and delivered by 4 pm. Different SEAS groups that have traditionally prepared and served a meal for guests will be preparing, cooking and packaging the meals.
3. Walmart Gift cards of $25 to assist guests with general expenses. We are asking Parishioners to sign up to provide the Walmart gift cards.

On-line signup is available Monday through Friday about 5pm on Friday each week. Sign-up on the weekends will be in the Social Hall. The on-line sign-up link is:

The New SOS sign-ups begin this weekend (Oct. 23/24)
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we will not be housing the homeless at our church this year.  SOS has been funding the cost of motel rooms and daily meals for all guests.  They have asked congregations if they could provide support for the week they normally host. Your SEAS SOS team has been discussing options with Father Norm. We are finalizing plans to provide the following the week of Sunday, November 21 through Saturday, November 27:

1. Lunch supplies for a week to each motel room on Monday, November 22 so guests can make their own lunches each day.  We are asking parishioners to sign up to provide and package materials for one hotel room.
2. A daily hot meal for each guest prepared and individually packaged and delivered by 4:30 pm.  Different SEAS groups that have traditionally prepared and served a meal for guests will be preparing, cooking and packaging the meals for delivery each day.
3. Gift cards of $25 to assist guests with general expenses.  We are asking parishioners to sign up to provide the cards.

This project will continue the SEAS tradition of supporting the homeless in our area.  This will require significant resources in terms of donations to cover meal costs and gift cards, shopping for supplies, preparing, cooking, packaging and delivery each day.  We will start sign-ups the weekend of October 23 with in-person sign-ups in the Social Hall on Saturday and Sunday and on-line sign-ups Monday through Friday.  More information will be provided over the next few weeks as we finalize plans.  We appreciate your support for this effort
