Meals
Breakfast: Be there at 8:00 am sharp! Be sure to sit in your work teams as you eat a light breakfast of cereal, pastries, fruit, juice, and coffee.
Lunch: A “brown bag” lunch will be packed at SOS each morning and eaten at the work site. SOS provides sandwiches, potato chips, fruit, and cookies. Sandwich ingredients include: white and wheat bread, peanut butter, jelly, ham, turkey, cheese, mustard and mayonnaise. With the Sharpie pen at your table, write your name and what kind of sandwich you would like on the sandwich bag(s) provided. Two “sandwich crew” people from each work team will then make sandwiches and bag the lunches. **Note: Your team provides beverages **
Dinner: This is a buffet-style dinner where you sit wherever you want. Just make sure that drinks and food that are on the table you serve the person on your left. The whole table is responsible for leaving the table clean and dishes put in their proper places.
Allergy Notice: Because of the size of our camps we are unable to provide vegetarian, gluten free, lactose free meals or specific meal requests. Therefore, if you are unable to eat what we provide, we ask that you bring your own food and we will store it for you during the week. We do provide fridge, freezer and pantry space for supplementary foods. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause; please email kelly@sosmemphis.org with any questions.
Wednesday Evening
After leaving the worksite, returning to SOS and getting cleaned up, you’re free to explore Memphis, have dinner on the town and relax until 10:30pm. We recommend bringing a little spending money for dinner/activities. If you need some recommendations, feel free to ask Kelly prior to your trip or poll the other SOS staff members upon arrival as we all have very passionate Memphis restaurant opinions! Wednesday evening is also a great time for a mid-week debrief as a group so consider creating space to discuss what you’ve learned so far and your hopes for the rest of the week/returning home!
