Morristown UU is Cooking for the Sprint!

Our congregation committed to provide meals for two weeks in January for The Morristown Sprint. The Sprint is a short-term community initiative to house chronically unsheltered individuals here in Morristown and strengthen community coordination. Last weekend over 10 people gathered in our kitchen to cook meals planned and coordinated by Diana Hart. The team cooked and packed 4 home-cooked meals each for 21 people – all packaged for easy storage and reheating. The special collection at both services on Christmas Eve supported the purchase of food and supplies for the meals.

The next weekend of cooking for Morristown Sprint is scheduled for the weekend of January 24 – 26. You can sign up to help prepare and pack meals by clicking here.

The Sprint is a local initiative that is leveraging state-level resources to help people access housing. Much of the initial housing is without a full kitchen, so the meals we prepare are especially welcome. Morristown UU is working through Collaborative Support Programs of New Jersey (CSPNJ) along with other local faith communities to provide the meals. Reach out to socialjustice@muuf.org with any questions.

Pictured in the photos are the bags of food ready for delivery with Diana Hart, Dori Wolfe, Don Preziosi and Helene Ferm. Many thanks to those that helped decorate the delivery bags at coffee hour on January 4^th!
