David/All? -? ?It is worthwhile to consider different ways of working with Metro Caring. Just a couple?of notes-
for a number of months during the past couple of years, we also had the opportunity to work at Samaritan
House which largely consisted of serving meals in one or two cafeterias at their large shelter downtown. This
offered a bit more personal interaction with homeless clients than many jobs at Metro Caring and was scheduled
in the evening and on weekends which worked for the schedules of certain of our volunteers, but not others.
The 3 and 1/2 hour shifts at Metro Caring are somewhat more physically demanding, but many of our potential
volunteers can handle them. If we covered different shifts and product lines at Metro, like bagged lunches or fresh
vegetables, that could interest more of our folks and their skills. We could increase or vary our Metro shifts for a?
few months on a trial basis if they are amenable.? Gassho,? ? ? ?Bob
