Meal Coordination

How Will I Feed 50 People?

We are excited and honored that you are interested in helping us feed our guests over our 2024-2025 Warm and Safe Winter Season! Here are a few guidelines that can help you determine how to do it.

Guidelines:

  • We ask that you don’t prepare anything too spicy or difficult to chew. Some good ideas include: Soups and/or Sandwiches, Stews, Buckets of Chicken with sides, Platters of cold cuts with sides, Pizza, Tacos, Pot Pies, and cooked Lasagna.

  • Beverages, breads and salads with meals are welcome but optional.

  • The Flathead Warming Center does not have a kitchen to cook or prepare a meal. All foods must be cooked prior to drop off. We do have crockpots and electric roasting pans to warm things back up but not to cook them.

  • We will provide all paper products including plates, napkins and utensils.

  • Disposable serving dishes are preferred but if you drop off your own dishes, we ask that you pick them up within the next day or two after your meal.

  • Drop off time is flexible but most occur between 5-6pm. Guests begin arriving at 5:45pm.

  • Serving is not necessary as space is limited. If you feel you would like to serve, please contact Sonny at volunteercoordinatorfwc@gmail.com to coordinate.

  • If you have signed up to deliver a meal and something happens that prevents it, please just let us know as soon as you can at 406-855-3042. We are able to provide our guests with a substitution meal in those instances.
