2. Prepare a dinner meal of your choice that will feed 85 guests.
3.  Deliver the prepared meal to Lazarus House on the Wednesday you signed up for.  The preferred time for drop off is between 6-6:45 p.m., but if needed can be dropped earlier and kept warm in their ovens.  Please specify to staff that your food be for the dinner meal.

 

Tips:
*Cook with others!
*Large casseroles as well as stews in large pots are good.
*Do the cooking a bit at a time and/or ahead of time
*Buy big casseroles (e.g. from Costco)
