FAST & EASY
These are easy to make frozen casseroles and go over well with SHIP’s clientele. Most faith communities purchase aluminum foil pans with covers and work together to prepare the Ziti after each service on a particular day. The Ziti is cooked, frozen and brought to the service two weeks later. Everything is then delivered to SHIP after the last service of the day as most faith communities lack refrigerated storage space.
