We volunteered last year and are planning on doing it again this year. We have arranged for Southwest Airlines to donate coffee. We also have a committment for the use of at least 2 large coffee percolators. We will bring these items as well as Creamer, Sugar, Stirrers and cups. (all donated). We have a generator that we could bring as well. Will it be needed or will there be power at the site?
We plan on being there early enough to get the coffee started. Please let me know about the power.

Hi Melissa,

We would love to see you there and of course, bring the boys, everyone just jumps in where ever help is needed.
