Walking alongside those with long-term and terminal illnesses, using meals is the main carrier of Christ's love and compassion.
- For people in our church or people vouched for by those in our church
- Meals made by parishioners and frozen
- Meals can be delivered frozen with cooking instructions or heated, per the need
- Option for communion/pastoral care available
- For those needing assistance greater than 2 weeks (up to 6 weeks for non-terminal
illness/special circumstances, and up until they no longer need us for long term/terminal
illnesses) - Options for small groups/women/men/youth groups to help meet needs (outreach opp)
- Organized monthly GRA outreach meals to youth home, women’s shelter, etc
- Ministry opportunities beyond the meals only for those who call GRAlliance home church
(screening)
How it works:
● A need is brought to us of a person/family in need of support
● A call is made to them to establish a connection and hear of the full need/limitations
● Meals are scheduled by the need (2x’s a week, etc)
● Aluminum pan with a double-sided recipe card provided to individuals who would like to
cook the meal. One side of the card is the recipe and the other side are cooking
instructions to be taped to the finished product. Meals are fully cooked and then frozen
and stored in the church’s upright freezer.
● Individuals/groups volunteering to cook the meals are responsible for providing all of the
ingredients needed to make their meal, as well as, filling out the agreement form. This
form stresses the importance of following the recipe EXACTLY to avoid allergen or
dietary issues with those we are serving.
● Access to the frozen food will be limited to a few people to prevent inventory
interruptions.
Ways for small groups/women’s/men’s/youth ministries to get involved:
● Making/Delivering meals
● Special project needs of the one being served (ie restocking wood, cleaning, organizing)
● Prayer support
