food providers. Due to East St. Louis Health Department regulations, food
providers will simply donate $15-20, and the lead couple then shops for the
food. The meal consists of sloppy joes, potato chips, another side to be
determined, cookies, and bananas. They have been serving about 100 meals
recently. Julie Grubb is the coordinator of this service. This First Saturday meal
has been provided by our parish for over 20 years before COVID paused it.
