Other Unique
Programs - Twice Fed

Twice Fed
As our population ages and the work force begins to shrink, we will need to discover new ways to care for our frail elders. The Twice Fed Program involves volunteers in assisting residents who need help eating meals. This exciting program includes training and provides hands-on ministry.

Caring individuals volunteer their time and talents to assist our staff in feeding residents who cannot feed themselves. Volunteers first attend a three hour training session where they learn how to properly help residents during meal time. Following training, volunteers commit to one or two evenings per month for service in this special ministry. Our volunteers have come to learn that through this very basic act of love and care . . . it is they who are fed.

. . . people serving Christ, by serving others.

"for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink." Matthew 25:35

Jesus calls us to welcome him by loving our4 neighbor. The Twice Fed Program involves volunteers in assisting residents who need help eating meals. Many of us have come to understand that in feeding others, it is truly we who are fed. Join this very special ministry at St. John's Lutheran Ministries!

We ask that volunteers . . .

• Attend a three hour training session

• Commit two hours, one to two evenings per month

• Help transport residents to and from the dining room

• Assist residents with eating

• Share a kind word or act of caring

Volunteers may arrive between 4:30 and 5:30 pm and be of great help to our staff and residents. Many who have volunteered have found their experience to be profoundly moving. In the end, it may be you who will be ministered to!
