Since last spring, EMC members have been volunteering once a month at Perspectives, a 40-year-old nonprofit in St. Louis Park that takes a holistic approach toward helping mothers and their children.
“It’s an easy gig,” says one volunteer. “The kids show you the ropes, and you don’t need any real kitchen skills to participate.”
EMC volunteers spend three hours on site, working with Chef Dan and the children to prepare the dinner; then they all enjoy it together and clean up afterwards. Currently, members volunteer on the first Monday of each month, 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Perspectives will be closed Monday, January 1, so EMC will not participate that day.
If this short-term opportunity sounds like a good fit for you, please contact the church office to volunteer: emcucc@emcucc.org or 952-926-6555. Sign up for one afternoon or several!
