We've started to be involved with the Micah House (a refugee house in Hamilton http://www.micahhouse.ca/cms/) through cooking dinner twice a month for the guests there. If you'd like to be involved there are a few steps in the process, so you can commit to any/all of them based on time limits and all that. Here's what's involved:
-Shopping- going to probably the Barn and buying the food for dinner (we all split the bill on this so it's not a very big contribution per person)
-Cooking- last week we cooked at a house on South Oval that some of the exec live at- we could do that again if it works for most people or we could go to the Micah House to cook
-Dinner- bringing the meal/serving the meal at the Micah House in downtown Hamilton- if anyone has a car for this part of the evening that would be really appreciated. We aim to be there at 5:30pm (unless we cook there, in which case we'll go earlier). We're welcome to hang out there for as long or short a time afterwards as we want/are able.
We had our first experience there on Thursday and have another one coming up this Monday, October 27th. Usually we'll be doing 1 Thursday and 1 Monday per month.
Please get in touch if this is something you'd like to be involved with!! We really think it is an amazing way to be seeking justice and building relationships with "the alien" in our midst.
