Margaret Shafer Picnic

This popular Fifth Avenue tradition returns for its 22nd year!

Every summer our volunteers gather to serve a picnic lunch to neighbors in our community who are experiencing homelessness or simply in need of a relaxed meal among friends. This event, part of our longstanding befriending ministry, is named in honor of the late Margaret Shafer, our former associate for outreach and a beloved friend and advocate of the homeless in our community.

Volunteers are needed to make this event a success by helping with the event set-up, welcoming guests, serving the meal, making desserts, be part of the fellowship, and more! Registration for the event will close on June 18.

To sign up, complete the registration form. You will receive your work assignment, and our location in the park, shortly before the day of the event.
