    Fr. Parrish says about the only stipulation to being a cook, is being at least 18 years of age.  The menus are set, the food is on site, the program supervisor can direct you and the preparation of the food is simple.  ( play audio :09 seconds )
    If you want to help, but cooking is just not your thing,  you may also help out.   ( play audio  :41 seconds )
    The meals are prepared and served at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church at 20th and Towle Streets in Falls City.  
    There are orientation requirements, but can be met easily if you are willing to help.
    For more information you may call St. Paul’s Lutheran Church at 402-245-3828.   Any help you can offer would be a great ministry to the children and youth of the community.
