October 22, 2011- Thanksgiving Outreach Planning

We spent most of the morning planning for Thanksgiving. Praise God for Pastor Barney Ramirez and Joey Cruse for their willingness to work alongside with one another.

Fort Worth Harvest Church will head out a group in Riverside Drive. The second group will take place in Southside Church of Christ and the third at a house filled with children being taken care of by a grandmother.

Station #1
FWPD will provide breakfast and care in the morning to some elderly and open up the place for other homeless famlies needing care.
- They will need the food prior to 7:00a or the day before. They will open doors, delivering food until noon.
- Volunteers are need to prep the food and deliver it to Southside Church of Christ.

Station #2 and #3
Both stations will start simultaneously at Southside Church of Christ and Riverside Drive. Pastor Barney Ramirez and Phillip will head Riverside and Joey Cruse with Craig Seals will take over operations at Southside.

- Arrival time for all volunteers and food at Southside and Riverside will be 3:00pm

- Setup time for all volunteers and food will be at 3:00pm for both areas
- A setup area will be created in case temperatures drop too low.
- Greeting teams will be setup to build relationship and gather information with all those families that arrive early or if it's too cold.

- Open door time will officially be 5:00pm
- Food will be distributed via buffet style with food already prepared and placed in a room. As people take the food, they will walk on by and eat in the designated rooms. Any youth or other volunteers will either work as waiters or greeters to help those getting food.
- The game will be put up till 6:00pm for those finished with the food early

- Service time will begin at 6:00pm
- Prayer groups, worship team, and pastor need to be ready to sequence their service

- Clothes distribution time will begin promptly at 7:00pm

- Clean up time will happen throughout the entire duration of the time. Main clean up will happen after the clothes distribution from 8:00pm-9:00pm


Station #3
- Food preparation and team volunteers are still being discussed. Stay tuned.
