Booya Curbside with Faith in Action - drivers needed

   Faith in Action for Cass County will hold the 2021 Fall Booya Curbside on Friday, September 24th from 4:30 to 6:00 PM at Union Church in Hackensack. In light of the increased cases of COVID among vaccinated people in our area, we want to keep people safe. “We believe this is the only Booya event in North Central Minnesota,” stated Booyamaster Mike Bohanon. “We know we can make this a fun curbside event again this fall.”

   Booya is a rich stew, slow-cooked to perfection overnight in a giant cauldron with several kinds of meats and loads of vegetables. With Linnea’s Organic Sourdough Bread, you have a superb meal for a fall evening. This year Booya will be served first come, first served, with no reservations. Servings are available in single, double or family-sized containers and quantities are limited. There is no charge for a meal and donations will be accepted at the door.

   Faith in Action connects Cass County residents with local volunteers who provide neighborly assistance with rides, accessible van rides, basic home repair and phone reassurance. Volunteers hope to provide homemaking and chore services later this fall. Services are provided based on need, not income, and there are no fees for services. Everyone qualifies, but you do need to call ahead!

   DRIVERS are now NEEDED in every community in Cass County! Volunteers provide the heart and hands as they care for others in their communities and they can choose how, when and how often they are able to help. Drivers are also needed for our accessible van. Some area residents have no other options for transportation. Volunteer training, liability insurance, mileage reimbursement and COVID protective supplies are provided. Local support of Faith in Action is the key to helping people stay living in their homes and communities for as long as possible.
