Salvation Army Soup Kitchen 1-24-14

We are serving BruizE / Moxie's Home made spaghetti, with a side of bread and salad! We could serve up to 120 people!

I'll make a signup genius about it later, but Moxie just found kick ass deals on some stuff this week (if yall want to purchase your donation items now!)

Spaghetti noodles: when you buy 10 at Kroger, they're 0.79 each. We need 10-12 boxes.
Canned tomatoes: when you buy 10 at Kroger, they're 0.49 each. We need 20-25 cans.
These deals end on Wednesday.
We will eventually need tomato paste and sauce, salad ingredients and bread, but we haven't seen any deals yet.

If anyone else sees deals, or thinks we can get something for free from a restaurant, post it here! Or look into it! If you plan on buying something, post it here so we don't get too many of 1 item, or leave an ingredient behind.

to get these deals, you must buy 10 of the items in the deal. so for instance, if you buy 5 cans of tomatoes and 5 boxes of pasta, it qualifies. or 10 pastas or 10 tomatoes. 7.90 plus tax for 10 boxes of pasta and 4.90 plus tax for 10 cans of tomatoes. i'm not sure if tomato paste or tomato sauce is included in the deals yet or not but those things are generally under .50 cents. each batch of sauce (includes 2 cans of italian style diced tomatoes, 1 can tomato paste and 1 can tomato sauce) will serve 8-10 people. we can just add italian seasoning and minced onion which are cheap also. also also-the recipe originates from bruiz e so i don't want to steal her thunder. i just make it a little more simple without cutting green peppers or onions...my family doesn't like those so much. ok so yay-cheap easy food. i'm still searching for deals on bread and salad.


also, if you don't like shopping, donate money and we will do it for you. my kroger gas points will soar:)

Mox, if I can cross paths with you tomorrow, I can give you some money to get stuff.

Sign up genius hates me and for some reason I can never get it to work. I cheated and Dinah would just always give me a job and I would just tell her what I was bringing for a bout. Lame, I know, but whatevs.... So you would please put me on the list for 10 boxes of pasta? That would be awesome. Can I bring it to one of you? Thanks for putting this together, I really appreciate it!

We are scheduled for Jan 24th for dinner at 7pm. This is a Friday- they are booked solid for Saturdays and Sundays (lunch and dinners) for months. We can get there anytime to start prepping.

I wont be able to do a friday at 7 but I want to donate or help however I can

Last day of the Kroger sale is today. Also, seasoning is on sale at Walgreens for .77 with in ad coupon. Through Saturday. So u can prolly pick up onion n Italian seasoning there.

Can we get a sign up going so the things that might be bought already are not duplicated?

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Here's our gift to the community

Just signed up for some stuff! Wanted to bump this and remind people that its coming up when planning out your month of January.

Just checked this signup to see if I need to bump it..

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME

Hey I can't remember if I asked so I'll ask again can I bring max and maddi? I think they would love it.

I don't see a problem with it as long as they're supervised. I may need to call Salvation Army and ask them if there is an age requirement, though I doubt there is.

Your swell thanks

I signed up for food prep, but what time is that? I'm working that day and i just want to make sure I'm there in time. I would also wonder if i could bring my kids. Thanks!

This is just a reminder to please bring all food stuff to practice next week! I will collect them. If you can not bring them that night please let me know and I will pick them up from you throughout next week.

Bruiz we plan on having someone there at 5pm to start prep.

Hey everyone this is tomorrow! I am so happy that every single signup slot is full!!!

Times:
Food Prep People: Be there at 5:15
Everyone else be there by 6 so we are ready and set to start serving at 7pm.

As this is our first time and we are not sure exactly what is needed it is better that we are there early and ready. Anyone is welcome to come start helping at 5:15.

The Address is:
601 W Washington St, Bloomington, IL 61701

By the way kids are welcome. Just keep in mind that some of the attendees have naughty language. And kids need to be supervised at all times.
