The Outsiders Inn Meal Train is full of Community Cook ROCKSTARS!! They are supporting Outsiders Inn Shelter collaborations where local area faith congregations & community residents are working diligently side-by-side together to expand emergency shelter options in Vancouver WA.
Meal cooking and drop off is needed in this task. We completely understand during this critical time with the Covid-19 virus the need to keep everyone safe.
