(Update from June 2022)
We are thrilled to announce that two church members, Susanna Waldrop and Judson Taylor, have agreed to serve as co-chairs of the Urban Outreach Committee and to take over management of Shared Breakfast starting July 1st! As such, Shared Breakfast will continue – hooray! We are grateful for their willingness to take on this significant responsibility and are committed to helping make a smooth transition. Next time you see either Susanna or Judson, please give them a shout-out or a fist bump in gratitude:)
With new leadership having been identified, Shared Breakfast will operate in Q3 in the same manner that it has during Q2 – with breakfast served in take-out bags to the walk-up guests and also delivered in trays via the King County Metro Access Van to residents of three shelters in downtown Seattle operated by Compass Housing.
There is still a need for more volunteers, specifically for the roles of Lead Cook and Assistant Cook. Please consider volunteering for these roles. We would be happy to provide you with the necessary training. And while there is sufficient funding for another year of Shared Breakfast, the expenses for Shared Breakfast are greater than the donations and grants. Please consider making a donation to Shared Breakfast which you can do online via the First United
