For those of you who have never participated in serving meals at the men's shelter, here's a bit more detail. We'll arrive and maybe watch a short video on what UGM is and what they do (since it is our first time). We'll put our valuables in the office then divide up into 2 groups: Kitchen crew and Serving crew. The kitchen crew will be cleaning dishes and pots, may be floors too. Serving crew will dish out the food cafeteria style. They will provide us with disposable aprons and gloves so no need to bring your own. The kitchen is very clean and pretty efficient. But of course it is a kitchen so wear closed toe shoes (ie no sandals), NO HEELS (floor slippery) and simple, comfortable clothes. You guys know. Common sense stuff. Since we are talking clothes, this is a men's shelter so dress modestly (sorry had to say it; I know we know better). It goes by fast and it's fun to talk with the kitchen crew. Typically we don't do any cooking but of course if they ask for help, I know Arkers (most) are great in the kitchen. Above all, listen to what you are asked to do. We are there to help. Sometimes the food is past the expiration date. They are not stupid; they know. They like to offer you food/snacks as they are quite kind.
