Outreach Set Up
Set up for an Outreach Event is based on two six foot tables. The team is behind the table, the residents on the other side. From the team's perspective the food goes from left to right. Use the space underneath the tables as your storage area. Only keep the food, drinks and condiments on top.
Most hotdogs are in packs of eight. Therefore set up eight plates on the far left hand side. Put a hotdog with a bun, some cookies (4) and chips on each plate. The resident will get his plate and put the condiments on the hot dog himself. On the right hand table set up drinks and napkins. Set ten 8 oz cups on the table with some ice and pour three different kinds of drinks. The two favorites are cola and orange with grape coming in third. I usually buy the three liter drinks. Can drinks don't work well because kids set them down and then won't drink out of them because they're not sure whose can it is. Tell them, "You can come back for as much drink as you want, just bring your cup." That will keep litter down to a minimum. Have several trash bags available, one at each end of the table, and one by the cooks. It is VERY important that you clean up every scrap of paper when you finish the event. Always leave the property cleaner than you found it.
