Brothers, <div><br></div><div>Below is a message from UCM, also a form of waiver. It explains the nature of the volunteer work we will be doing tonight, and highlights that prep work, service, and clean up can be potentially dangerous if you're being stupid while working. I know none of you would be screwing around on the job, but we will have PNM's there and they need to be aware of this as well. Please share this email.</div>

Please review the information below and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!<br>

ATTENTION VOLUNTEERS!<br><br>Thank you for your interest in volunteering! Thursday Supper and Saturday Lunch are weekly free meal programs supported by United Campus Ministry. <br><br>THURSDAY SUPPER volunteers come between 3:30pm and 7:30pm or whenever clean-up is done! Dinner is served at 5:30pm. <br>
<br>SATURDAY LUNCH volunteers come between 11:00am and 3:30pm, or whenever clean-up is done! Lunch is served at 1:00pm.<br><br>Volunteers should understand there is a certain amount of risk involved in volunteering at UCM's weekly free meals. The potential risks are those typically associated with food preparation and cooking (cuts, burns, falls, etc.) As a volunteer, you willingly participate in this service while understanding those risks. Furthermore, you agree to not hold United Campus Ministry responsible for any injury incurred while volunteering at Thursday Supper or Saturday Lunch. Volunteers are encouraged to eat and mingle with other guests. Service
is ALSO about being in community, not just mopping floors, so get to
know the people around you! Have fun knowing that you are contributing to providing the Athens community with more than 5,000 nutritious, free meals a year! <br><br>UCM's other student organization, Interfaith Impact, meets every Thursday (while OU is in session) upstairs in the UCM lounge at 7:30pm. You are more than welcome to join this group discussion after serving at Thursday Supper. Email<a href="mailto:evan@ucmathens.org" target="_blank"> Rev. Evan Young</a> for more information.<br>
<br>As a student organization, Thursday Supper receives some funding for food from the Ohio University Senate Appropriations Commission. Community Foods Initiatives and other campus and community groups donate food and volunteer regularly. These meals are free and open to everyone and are opportunities for campus and community engagement through service. Athens County has many low-income people and families who are food insecure (not knowing when and where their next meal is coming from). UCM is interfaith - we welcome people of ALL and NO faith traditions. We are committed to social justice and diversity. We welcome everyone. We do not welcome racism, sexism, heterosexism, homophobia, classism, or oppressive attitudes toward people of other religious/philosophical backgrounds or those with physical/mental illness. <br>
<br>UCM offers many opportunities for students and others to get involved. <a href="mailto:melissa@ucmathens.org" target="_blank">Email</a> to be added to UCM's weekly UCM Happenings email.<br><br>United Campus Ministry (Center for Spiritual Growth & Social Justice)<br>
