Holy Grill

University UMC has been involved with The Holy Grill, one of many programs sponsored by the Interfaith Federation of Greater Baton Rouge for decades.

UUMC volunteers will serve at The Holy Grill Tuesday - Friday the week of Sept. 3rd-6th. The InterFaith Federation of GBR delivers food around noon to the Cadillac St. BREC Park gym (6117 Cadillac St. 70811) in Zion City, an area north of Airline Highway and east of the airport. Four or five volunteers a day is an optimal crew. Generally, three people serve plates; one volunteer handles drinks and one does dessert. Usually, a group will carpool from the church, leaving about 11:30 a.m. and returning by 1 p.m.

We treat the people as our guests, welcoming them and serving them. There is a group of men who do most of the setup, deliver plates, and clean up. In addition to serving food, we have the opportunity to connect and learn about our community and these beloved children of God.
