🎉 Happy Anniversary! 🎉 We just celebrated our one year anniversary of SPSA prepared “to go” meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thanks so much to the many hands that prepare the food, provide supplies and help package and serve each Tuesday and Thursday.
A growing need
We started out serving 30-40 meals each night, and over the past several weeks that number has remained in the high 80s.
It would be nice to say that word of our talented cooks is bringing folks in, but the reality is the need has grown. Those receiving the meals are extremely happy and thankful.
8 – 10 lbs of baked pasta are served each Tuesday.
Thursday meals consist of donated Corporate lunch leftovers, and the team supplements the leftovers with rice, pasta, or meat.
Plan for the summer months
We are planning on continuing with baked pasta for Tuesdays, and we will do a cold pasta salad with chicken, meatballs, or tacos on Thursdays.
How can you get involved?
Provide One Pound Trays of Baked Pasta (for Tuesdays)
We are always in need of one pound trays of baked pasta – ziti, meat sauce and pasta, creamy chicken and broccoli – your choice.
Delivery instructions: Baked pasta dishes can be frozen so if you prefer to deliver after your favorite Sunday mass, that is always an option OR any time before 2 pm on Tuesdays.

Provide grocery ingredients (for Thursdays)
We have included a grocery list on the Thursday schedule for some staple ingredients and will send out notices when there is an update.
Provide cold pasta salads (for Thursdays)
We are looking for salads filled with fresh veggies (hold the mayo please).
Select a couple different veggies – thin slices of summer squash, cherry tomatoes, carrots, pieces of broccoli, green beans, perhaps spinach, olives, chunks of cheese topped with a vinaigrette or greek or italian dressing. (It’s ok to get creative, and there are many recipes online.)
Delivery instructions: The pasta salads will not be reheated, so please bring anytime between Tuesday and before 2 pm on Thursdays. The team starts to package meals at 2 pm on Thursdays.
