Paz De Cristo
For 30+ years VUU members and friends have faithfully partnered with Paz de Cristo in Mesa to feed
hungry members of our communities who are homeless, a part of the working poor or are families in
need.
On the second Friday of each month, from 4 to 7 PM, the VUU team provides direct service by preparing
and serving the evening meal, as well as performing kitchen tasks that include dishes, sweeping and mopping, cleaning surface tops and taking out the trash.
Usual meal prep tasks include making a green leafy salad, a fruit salad, and peanut butter sandwiches.
Beverages and other items included in the meal are assembled and prepared for serving. The dining room tables are arranged and equipped with eating utensils.
At dinner time, beverages are served and the evening meal is plated and served to Paz guests in the dining room. “To go” plates are also created for Paz guests to take with them.
During and after dinner, team members pitch in to wash and put away dishes, clean tables, sweep and mop floors and take out the trash.
Paz de Cristo is located at 424 W Broadway Road in Mesa.
We ask for 17 volunteers for each event. This is a fun and fulfilling “labor of love” as you also get to
know other VUU members and friends. Please join us and be a part of this awesome team.
Check the list below for when help is needed, then please sign up. We’d love to serve with you!
