Supper Teams

There are currently vacancies on the Baked Potato, Sub Sandwich, and Pasta teams. Serve just once every 6 weeks, and the same menu each time. Contact Cindy Bonde (684.1476) or Dorothy Valentine (682.6695).

Feeding Families

Wednesday Suppers start up again on September 10 with the popular Chicken Kiev meal. Serving starts at 5pm and the suggested donation is $3 per plate. A Sub Sandwich menu has been added to the rotation this year.

You can offer a few hours of time and make a big impact on families here at Zion. Wednesday night supper teams are welcoming new team members. Can you help?

Families or individuals cook, serve, and clean up meals once every 6 weeks. Meals are served in a 6 week rotation giving each team the benefit of cooking the same meal each time they serve. You can choose which meal team you’d like to join.

This is a 3 ½ hour commitment which can be split among the team during the supper hours between 3:30 and 7:00pm.

If you are willing to give time to help with this great outreach to Zion families and community members please contact Sherilyn Burgdorf in the church office (682.1245 ext. 307 / sburgdorf@zionbuffalo.org), Cindy Bonde (684.1467) or Dorothy Valentine (682.6695).

You’ll benefit by meeting other Zion members that will become new friends and you’ll also help many families and youth by providing a great “home-cooked” meal on busy Wednesday evenings.

During Lent, about 150 people have been taking advantage of the Wednesday Suppers provided at Zion. A few weeks ago, 32 of those people provided some feedback on the program:
