Serving Opportunity: OURM Mens Dinner
Serve at the Orlando Union Rescue Mission
We have a wonderful opportunity to show Christ’s love in a practical way by serving dinner to the men at the Orlando Union Rescue Mission. We go every month, but volunteers are welcome to serve as often as their schedule allows—you don’t have to commit to every month. We are looking for volunteers to help with two important roles:
Serving dinner – helping prepare and serve the evening meal.
Connecting with the men – sitting down, listening, and offering encouragement and fellowship.
Your presence can make a real difference! Whether through a warm meal or a kind conversation, you can help shine the light of Jesus in someone’s life.
When: 3rd Thursdays, monthly
Where: OURM Men’s Home
RSVP: Carl Cline at carlcline210@gmail.com if you'd like more information or to sign up.
