Haven House - Bring and Serve Dinner for Those in Need

Please read this description in its entirety.  Starting January 2019, new food regulations were dictated by the California Health and Safety Code.   This will change the way food is served.  The entire meal preparation for this project must be made in a COMMERCIAL KITCHEN (i.e. Costco, Winco, Grocery Store Deli, Restaurants, etc.).  This project is VERY feasible with the help of a group.  We have some EASY suggestions for you.  If you are not in a Life Group and would still like to provide a meal, please involve your family or friends to help with the expense.  Please do not sign up as an individual because this project requires ten (10!) or more people.    

Haven House is a year-round shelter for homeless men and women in Escondido run by Interfaith Community Services.  They provide emergency housing for up to 49 homeless men and women each night.  Consider making
