There is very good news for those of us concerned about hunger
in Malibu. Currently there two homeless dinners here, at Malibu Methodist,, and
no more food resource. People go hungry.
Reverend Paul Elder has come up with a simple and wonderful plan
to mitigate this. He is at the library at Civic Center, Monday through Friday
at 11:30 AM to see that lunch is available. He needs people who will bring food
for 20, utensils, and cleanup. If possible, he hopes people will commit to a
monthly, or weekly lunch donation. It can be only one day or it can be random.
Weekends are fine too but Paul wont be there. Ideally it wont be necessary for
him to be there all weekdays, as people take responsibility.
It can be very simple, simply picking up sufficient sandwiches,
tacos, burgers, etc. or creating a great soup, many possibilities(see
below).
Please call and/or email Paul at:

questions call, text or email me. I will be making a roster, which

All I can tell you is: I took lunch last week and it was so nice to
bring food for about 20 homeless people. If we can have a few families commit
to this wonderful cause, we can make sure our homeless can at least and one
meal a day.
I am taking lunch again on the 15th.
If someone wants to help me serve or just go with me, please let me know.
Veera
