SPECIAL NOTE:
Everyone’s health and safety are a top priority and we do not want to encourage anyone to serve if you do not feel comfortable doing so, feel sick or have sick members in your family. With the Stay-At-Home Order in place, we are allowed as a food provider to stay open, but we do ask for any volunteers to come directly from their home to their site location and then return home. If you have your own clean mask and gloves, please bring them. We will take all measures as we serve to sanitize and set up our ministry to serve at a safe distance.
Here is some guidance from the CDC about how to wear a mask (as well as how to make your own):

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12
We are called to love our neighbors and Raleigh Dream Center is committed to providing avenues for you to love others during these uncertain times. We do not want to live in fear, but are pursuing wisdom as we care for our communities.
Sign Up To Serve Lunches On Weekdays
We are partnering with the Wake County Public School System to provide over 2,500 meals a day including free hot lunches and a shelf stable breakfast five days a week. All food will be prepared in school kitchens and brought to our Adopt-A-Block site locations. The kids can pick up their food and then promptly take their food home.
We need around 20-25 volunteers each weekday to serve from 11-1pm at various locations to present the meals to the children.
