The project coordinators are very prompt -- they start and end right on time. Our responsibilities will include: 1) Finalizing the meal, 2) Dishing food onto plates, 3) Serving and 4) Cleanup (dishes, tables, chairs, etc). Loaves and Fishes operates out of the kitchen in St. Stephen's and the Incarnation Episcopal Church at the intersection of 16th and Newton Streets, NW. It is only about a 7 minute walk from the Columbia Heights metro to the church. More information on Loaves & Fishes can be found here.
