The casserole project allows individuals to help feed the hungry by preparing casseroles in their own homes, freezing the casseroles and then delivering the frozen casseroles to St. John’s. Volunteers collect the casseroles on the first Sunday of each month. The collected casseroles are delivered immediately to Elizabeth House, a soup kitchen in Laurel. Participation in the project is on an as able basis; some cooks prepare casseroles every month, others only two or three times a year. A set of six recipes is used. A particular recipe is assigned each month and all are fairly easy to assemble. If you have any questions or comments about the project, please contact Kim and Jeff Paniati at [email protected].Read More
