Emergency Meals Program

Sign up as a  volunteer in our Emergency Meals Program

Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish has begun an “Emergency Meals” Program. Many of you have cooked and delivered a meal to a friend who is ill, had a death in their family, or is experiencing some type of crisis that calls for assistance. This “Emergency Meals” program works in a similar way. Volunteers sign up to cook and deliver a meal on an occasional basis (maybe once a month) to a parish member or family that needs assistance. This program has been very successful in the past, being a valuable way to show fellow parishioners that they are in our thoughts.

We ask that parishioners be mindful of any situation where a family or individual would benefit from meal assistance.
Examples might include: 
  † A parent hospitalized or just home from the hospital
  † An individual going through treatment for cancer
  † A single parent facing a crisis with no support
Please be sensitive to the needs of your fellow parishioners or neighbors and call or e-mail one of us if you feel Emergency Meals would be helpful. Thank you so much!

Here are some actual situations where emergency meals
​in the past were provided by parish members:

♥  Mother of three was hospitalized following the difficult delivery of her fourth child. Meals were delivered to her home during the hospitalization and for two weeks after she returned home.​

♥  Elderly widower living alone was discharged from the hospital after suffering a stroke. Parish volunteers delivered meals for almost a month, providing much needed nutrition.  The widower felt honored to know that the parish community cared so much for him.​

♥  Single mother of two young children facing cancer treatments. The mother welcomed the prepared foods delivered by parish volunteers a few days a week over several months. The kids loved the meals!
