Hi Everyone:
We have had a good response so far, but many of the food donation slots are not yet filled and we need to fill them.
The original post, including the Perfect Potluck link to volunteer to bring food is below. Please consider helping!

Who wants to get their Tikkun Olam on? Short on Mitzvot? Here’s a great way to help:
PADs, an organization that provides assistance, shelter, meals and advocacy for Cook and Lake County’s homeless and at risk residents is holding a dinner event for their clients on Monday, September 19th – B’Chavana has volunteered along with another organization to provide people and food for this event.
The details:
Monday, September 19th
Kingswood United Methodist Church, 401 West Dundee Road in Buffalo Grove
Timing: Starting at 5:45 PM to about 9:00 PM
We need a combination of both five people volunteers to serve and clean up, about a 3 hour time commitment, and food and beverage items.
Please sign up with this Perfect Potluck link – please note, B’Chavana has committed to fill every slot on this sheet – there will be one more organization doing the same:

Here’s details of the evening as provided by the PADs leadership staff:
All hot food needs to be brought in hot and ready to eat, at 6:00pm. Food that does not get served hot may be dropped off at the church and left on the counter or in the refrigerator as necessary any time during the day.
Dinner Staff Volunteers are needed from 5:45pm until 9:00pm. Onsite training will be held the first 10 minutes of the shift.
