Events & Volunteer Opportunities
​Host Team Volunteers Needed. Our Tucker First Administrative Assistant, Shelby Ryals, is now leading the church, Host Team. This group will focus on creating an especially welcoming experience on Sunday mornings for our guests and members. The former greeter and hospitality teams will now fall under the Host Team’s focus. If you’re interested in being part of this new team (greeter, hospitality, etc.), please contact Shelby Ryals in the church office at sryals@tfumc.org or 678-325-4025.
Food Volunteers Needed for Men’s Shelter. On the coldest nights of the year, Tucker First operates a Men's Cold Weather Shelter in the Activities Center for the homeless men in our community. Volunteers are needed to provide a meal when the shelter is open. The meal providers would be on a rotation schedule so that you would not have to provide a meal every time. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Leigh Andersen at lcandersen@bellsouth.net to be put on the rotation schedule.
Habit for Humanity in March. Tucker First will be working with Habitat for Humanity DeKalb every weekend in March (five weekends). Worker volunteers are needed for these Saturday in addition to persons or groups that will donate breakfast and lunch for the workers. Please consider having your group or Sunday School class volunteer for a Saturday.
 
  • Volunteer for Work Site - The work site is from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm and the projects will include rehab and home repair, no experience necessary, you will be given instructions. The site will be a location in DeKalb County. Breakfast and lunch is provided and carpooling is available.
 
  • Breakfast Volunteers - It is nice to have fruit and a bread item along with juice and coffee. Please bring enough for thirty people. Bottled water (30) is also good to keep volunteers hydrated. Please arrive with food at the worksite by 8:45 am.
 
  • Lunch Volunteers – The workers like hot or cold food. Please prepare for thirty people. Prior lunches have included sandwiches, chili, fried chicken, and pizza. Please include paper goods. Water, sodas, or electrolyte drinks are appreciated to accompany the meal.

​Tucker First Annual Trinity Table Chili and Cookies! Instead of soup, this year we are doing chili and homemade cookies. Food donations and volunteers for the soup kitchen are both needed for this wonderful event.

  • Make Chili and/or Cookies – We need twenty-five gallons of chili and donations of homemade cookies (they really love them). Please package the cookies 2-3 per bag. Bring all chili and cookie donations to the Activities Center on Saturday, February 2 from 9:00 – 11:00 am. The recipe for the chili is listed here -​ https://tinyurl.com/trinitychili2019
 
  • Help Assemble “To Go” Bags – On Saturday, February 2 starting at 9:00 am, we are in need of a team to assemble “to go” bags for the people at the soup kitchen. After they receive a meal, they are also given these bags to take with them.
 
  • Volunteer at Trinity Table - We are in need of 8-10 volunteers to go and serve at Trinity Table on Sunday, February. 3. The team leaves by 10:30 am and returns by 2:30 or 3:00 pm.
 
If you are interested in making chili, baking cookies, or volunteering at Trinity Table, please go to https://tinyurl.com/trinity2019 and sign up. This way we can determine the volume of food we can expect on Saturday.
 
Please note, children under twelve years of age are welcome to make “To Go” bags on Saturday. Guidelines for Trinity Table ask that we do not bring children less than twelve years of age to serve on Sunday.
