Mission
We provide food for the homeless, 24 muffins at a time.
Description of agencies served: The Salvation Army Center of Hope (shelter for women and children), Men’s Shelter of Charlotte, and Urban Ministry Center. All of these agencies serve the homeless of Charlotte. Twice a month we deliver muffins to these three shelters.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are to bake (not buy) 24 cupcake-size muffins. Muffins are dropped off in the New Life Center
at St. Matthew. Drivers take them to the shelters. There are no dietary restrictions for the muffins: nuts, fruit, eggs, milk, etc. are all allowed. Reminder emails are sent one week in advance. Bakers may drop muffins off at church up to a week before they are due. This is a great opportunity for community service hours for teens and a very easy way to get younger children involved in helping to feed the homeless.
For more detailed information, please see the following documents: Baking Instructions and Recipes.
