For those interested in helping out, here's the menu and some tips.

Menu
Little Smokies
Mac and Cheese
Tomato Cucumber Salad
Cornbread
Water bottles

Tips:
Please use disposable aluminum pans.
Please wrap pans tightly with two layers of aluminum foil.
***A Half-Size Aluminum Steamer Tray will hold approximately 2-2.5 9x13 casserole dishes. If you'd like to make a Half-size tray of the Mac & Cheese or the Tomato Cucumber Salad, you will need to approximately double the recipes.

Little Smokies
We need 6 full 9x13 pans.
Plan on purchasing 3-4 bags of Little Smokies, or one large bag from Sam's and Costco.
Heat in a skillet on medium heat until heated thoroughly and the skins begin to crispen.

Mac and Cheese
We need 5 full 9x13 pans.
Plan on purchasing 3 boxes of macaroni and prepare according to the box directions, or make enough homemade mac and cheese to completely fill the pan.

Tomato Cucumber Salad
We need 5 full 9x13 pans.
Plan on purchasing 5 large tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, and 1 small red onion.
Cut the tomatoes and cucumbers into bite size pieces. Chop half of the onion and add to the pan. Pour Italian dressing over the top and sprinkle with black pepper and season with salt. Combine well.

Cornbread
We need 5 full 9x13 pans.
Make your favorite cornbread recipe.

We are also in need of napkins, plates, and forks to serve 75. The average has been about 60 people, but with the weather turning cooler, the numbers may be higher. We like to be prepared just in case. We are also in need of approximately 75 bottles of water.

Thanks for your help in feeding the homeless!
