BHS Holiday Meal on December 8-9, 2017



The 2017 Holiday Meal is an annual event where over 250 guests receive food
and good cheer from 200+ Berkeley High volunteers. Although some of the
guests typically are living without full-time housing, the doors are open
to anyone who wants a heartwarming meal and good cheer.



We invite the entire BHS community to get involved in this service event in
any or all of these ways:



1.    Contribute Funds - We have surpassed our goal...Thank you for your
generous donations!!!

2.    Contribute Canned Food

3.    Contribute Fresh Food (sign up online) We are still in need of
HAM/TURKEY.

4.    Volunteer (link is now open!!! scroll down) ONLY a few FRIDAY spots
left.



1. We are currently at $4,500+ for the Holiday Meal. THANK YOU!!! If you
have already mailed a check or contributed funds, you will receive a
donation receipt in the mail in the next few weeks. These funds offset
staff costs, ingredients, supplies, decorations, and entertainment among
other items. If you would still like to contribute funds for this event and
subsequent service opportunities, we accept CASH or CHECKS payable to "BHS
ASB".

4. Holiday Meal volunteers have a tremendous impact on the event whether
they are setting up the space on the day before the meal or interacting
with guests on the day of the event. We plan to have space for at least 300
volunteers this year, so be on the lookout for the volunteer list when it
gets posted in mid-November. The volunteer link will be available beginning
November 13 for one of the shifts: setup, service, and clean up.
