Meal Teams of four will cover the lunch shift from 11am-2 pm on the 3rd Thursday each month with our next opportunity on Thursday, March 20. We’ll meet outside the Cabrini Parish Office at 10:20 am on the designated date. All food is provided. Transportation as well will be provided. If you’re interested in joining us or would like more information call Barb Engler at (313)407-9511 or email at [email protected].
