The Club has committed to staff the kitchen and shower attendant volunteer roles on the evening of March 23rd at Bethlehem Emergency sheltering, hosted at Christ Church UCC on the corner of Center and Market streets in Bethlehem.  We will need to provide 4 to 8 volunteers to work in the kitchen, preparing and serving food, as well as 2 to 4 shower attendants to hand out towels and coordinate the scheduling of Men’s and Women’s showers.  Please contact Mark (Rotary@MarkWalter.net, 610-657-1467) or Deb Walter (deb.walter@yahoo.com, 610-657-0952) if you are interested in participating with the Club on this project.  
 
Here are some of the basic duties of each role:
  • Cooking – Bring in ingredients, cook food, prepare uncooked food (saleds, fruit slices, etc.), portion food
  • Setup – Turn on equipment, brew coffee, fill water jugs, set up return area, sanitize tables and counters
  • Serving – count people served, plate food, provide silverware etc., serve food, move empty serving dishes to cleanup area
  • Cleanup – Rinse and scrape pots, pans, plates, cups, glasses and silverware, run everything in dishwasher, clean tables and counters, take out garbage and recycling
  • Shower attendant – ensure soap, body wash and shampoo are in showers, provide sanitizing spray to each showerer, hand out towel / wash cloth, announce 5 min warning and end of each shower time, call next showerer.
