Food and entertainment for the Red Cross shelter is being coordinated by the Coffee County Ministerial Association (CCMA) and the Salvation Army. Financial donations to help cover the cost of meals may be sent to the Salvation Army. Perette Morris will be handling food purchases. She may be reached at Perette_Morris@uss.salvationarmy.org. Donations of prepackaged food, i.e. chips, cookies, power bars, etc. may be taken to First Baptist Church, and it will be delivered to the Shelter as needed. All prepared food must be prepared in a Safe Serve kitchen, and First Baptist Church meets that criteria. Volunteers are needed to prepare meals, but all meal preparation must be done in the kitchen at First Baptist. Churches or other groups, and individuals, who would like to volunteer to prepare a meal(s) are asked to send an e-mail to irma@fbcdouglas.com. People or groups who are willing to provide family oriented entertainment are asked to send an e-mail to irmaentertainment@fbcdouglas.com. Please include in your e-mail your name, cell number, e-mail address, and when you are available. You will be contacted as the schedules are worked out. If you are part of a church or group that is volunteering to cook, each individual needs to send an e-mail and request the same time, instead of one person e-mailing for the whole group. All ministers who would be willing to volunteer for time slots to serve as Chaplains at the Shelter are asked to contact Rev. Mary Ann Braswell at 706-699-3537 or maryannbraswell@gmail.com.
