Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church
There are many important announcements below concerning the warming shelter
and the coming storm today.
whether you have power or still out, please read the information below.
Volunteers and Food Preparers especially please read!!!
FOOD PREPARERS FOR TODAY – WEDNESDAY – PLEASE DO NOT PREPARE FOOD
With so many getting power back our numbers at the shelter are dwindling
rapidly. This is a GOOD THING!
The amount of food yesterday was unbelievable and the left overs will more
than feed everyone today.
THEREFORE, ANYONE WHO WAS SCHEDULED TO PREPARE FOOD FOR LUNCH OR DINNER
TODAY (WEDNESDAY) PLEASE DO NOT PREPARE IT.
Thank for you being there to assist but I do not want any food to go to
waste. Right now I have three refrigerators filled with food for today!
THOSE PREPARING FOOD FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY:
I want to put you in a “holding pattern”. There is a good possibility we
will be closing the shelter sometime between now and Friday. The main factor
will be the approaching storm. Please watch future emails for updates.
VOLUNTEERS:
At this time, all volunteers should report to for their scheduled time.
I do need one volunteer for tonight/Thurs. morning from 3-5am. Please
contact me as soon as possible if you are able to cover this shift.
THE APPROACHING STORM:
Today’s storm may knock out power to some residents who have had their power
restored or to those who never lost it in the hurricane.
If this should happen, PLEASE do not hesitate to come to the warming
shelter. We have PLENTY of food, cots and coffee! (and hopefully
electricity!). If you would like to stay overnight, please bring your own
pillow and blanket.
UTILITY WORKERS:
Many of the utility workers in the area have come from out of state
companies lending a helping hand. They have left their families behind so
that we can return to some “normalcy.” If you happen to have the opportunity
to see any of them on the road today or if they are working in your
neighborhood, please extend and invitation to them to join us at OLMC for a
cup of coffee or a HOT MEAL!
