It is located in Montgomery Village. The staff and residents of the shelter are looking for caring and compassionate people who are willing to bring in the food, and cook and serve dinner (for 10 including staff). They have a four burner stove, two ovens and two refrigerators in a decent sized kitchen. They also have pots and pans, and dishes & flatware. If you needed something special, you might want to check with them to see if they have it available. They would like to have dinner served around 6:30PM. They request that foods prepared not be too spicy, have no pork, and include vegetables. Kehilat Shalom coordinates some volunteers for WMTS, but the need exceeds their capacity. If you'd like to help, or for more information about volunteering, please contact Billye at (billye.roberts@gmail.com). For more information about the Kehilat Shalom program at WMTS, please visit http://www.kehilatshalom.org/watkins.mill.shelter.html.   Have a social action program or event you want to publicize?
