Green Bay shelter Volunteers serve meals and make donations to help the community's less fortunate By Jeff Kurowski Compass Assistant Editor Last year, the New Community Shelter of Green Bay served more than 46,000 hot meals to men, women and children of the community. The shelter expects to serve even more this year, and it would not be possible without the support of parishes from the Green Bay Diocese. We work with the social concerns committees. They are the ones that make the program work.
Parish volunteers cook and serve meals at the shelter.
They have the option to bring in their own food or prepare meals from food items available in the shelter kitchen. They know what they want to serve and how to make it. They do a wonderful job. Arndt estimates that 20 diocesan parish groups regularly serve as meal program volunteers. A group from St. Willebrord Parish, Green Bay, serves meals at the shelter the first Wednesday of each month.
