| Description |
Community Dinner is a weekly home-made meal provided to families, many of whom are low income and struggle to provide healthy food for themselves and their families. BGCA provides a welcoming and inclusive space that allows families to develop positive social connections with other families in the community and connects parents and their children to the programs and services of the BGCA. BGCA Community dinners serve approximately 50 people weekly on Thursdays. The dinners range from a large pasta meal to a BBQ. The main tasks are to assist in the kitchen with food prep, set up the room for the dinner guests, assist serving the food, and then clean up. |
