Potters House Community Kitchen (Potter\u2019s House) is a ministry that Friendly Avenue Church of Christ (FACC) actively works with as part of Greensboro Urban Ministry.\u00a0\u00a0Since the late\u00a01980s,\u00a0FACC has served meals at what is known as the Potter\u2019s House.\u00a0\u00a0The second Saturday of the month is our service date\u00a0where\u00a0we serve\u00a0up to 350 people in need.\u00a0\u00a0Community kitchen guests come from all over the city; and for many of them, this may be the only meal they will eat that day.\u00a0Potter\u2019s House has an open-door policy \u2013 everyone is\u00a0welcome,\u00a0without question or qualification.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Saturday lunch begins promptly at 10:30 AM when the doors open, and the first of the guests start to stream in.  Each guest would be seated and served a drink from the beverage station and a tray from the food line. By 12:30 the last of the guests have received their meal. Frequently, more than 350 guests will be fed during the community lunch hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most service volunteers provide from the stores of the Food Pantry, FACC continues to provide our food menu\u00a0including\u00a0ham, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, peaches, and bread.\u00a0\u00a0The menu rarely changes; so, the team members frequently take some \u201cownership\u201d of their\u00a0area of preparation\u00a0which\u00a0significantly impacts the\u00a0quality of food.\u00a0These meals\u00a0are paid\u00a0for through donations from our members.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We currently have\u00a0two\u00a0teams serving the second Saturday of every month. Team 1, led by Larry\u00a0Plott,\u00a0serves January, March, May, July, September, and November. Team 2, led by Eugene Uitenham, serves February, April, June, August, October, and December. Please let Larry Plott or Eugene Uitenham know if you and your family\u00a0would like\u00a0to serve. The commitment to serve is every other month in rotation for four hours (9 AM to 12:30 PM), six days a year.\u00a0Urban Ministries\u00a0is\u00a0located\u00a0at 305 West Gate City Blvd, Greensboro, NC 27406.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
