Claire GlassVolunteers are needed for the Soup or Salad (SoS) monthly community meal and fortnightly morning teas held at Reach Church. SoS organiser Claire Glass said the ‘‘very popular’’ monthly lunch required more volunteers as the programme grew to ensure consistent service. ‘‘We have several volunteer roles available and would require a commitment for one shift per month, particularly for the morning teas. ‘‘This is a voluntary and non-profit service to cater and create a social space in a warm, welcoming environment,’’ Mrs Glass said. An extension of the church’s monthly free community lunch — the morning teas — are at the heart of what pastor Brendon Perumal says is the church’s spirit.
