What is the Friday meal-to-go?

Our Friday meal-to-go is a collaboration between Hope on the Block, Cathedral of St. Paul, Broken Bread and community members to provide a meal-to-go and other essential items to members of our community. This meal-to-go will be served on Fridays starting at 5pm, until the food is gone, at Cathedral of St. Paul which is located at 51 W. Division St. in Fond du Lac.

How can you help?

We are looking for volunteers to both prepare and serve the weekly meal for about 50 people. If the meal requires cooking or assembly, this must be done in the kitchen at Cathedral of St. Paul or in a licensed kitchen.

FAQs

  • Who provides the meal?

    • Your group will provide the ingredients, prepare and serve the meal. If you need additional volunteers to help for any part please indicate that when you sign up.

  • What are the costs involved?

    • In our experience a good meal consisting of a main dish and a couple of sides averages about $200-$250, or about $4-$5 per meal. If you need help with ingredients or meal ideas, reach out and we can help!

  • How many volunteers are needed?

    • We recommend at least 3-4 volunteers per group. Any more than that and the kitchen can get a little crowded.

  • What time should you show up to prepare the meal?

    • The kitchen at Broken Bread will be available starting at 3pm on the Friday you are serving.

  • What else do you need to bring?

    • We will provide a full kitchen to prepare and package the meals, serving tables, a main to-go container, to-go salad containers if needed, condiments if needed (salad dressing, ketchup, mustard and mayo) and to-go silverware for each meal. If you think there is something else we’ll need for your meal reach out to us ahead of time and we can work together to make sure we’re prepared.

  • Will the meal be served outside?

    • Unless there is inclement weather and we need to move inside, please plan for the meal to be served outside.
