Free Community Meals for All - Pioneering a Community of Friendship
Our organization functions solely through the efforts of volunteers. We have no paid staff, and 100% of our (limited)funding goes toward the purchase of pantry items, paper products, utilities, and other goods related to serving meals and hosting community events. Please contact us to make donation or to schedule a time when you can volunteer and put your gifts into action. We are always seeking groups to conduct canned good and paper product drives on our behalf, and we love to think creatively about ways to get school groups, Scout groups, youth, and organizations partnering with us through on and off site activities.
Guests are encouraged to arrive between12 and 1pm for a hot meal, and to take a bagged lunch upon leaving the fellowship hall. Guests do not need to meet any criteria in order to join us- no questions are asked, and all are welcome. Guests sign in upon entry, but this is merely for the sake of keeping a count of number of guests served. Guests are welcome to sign an alias or merely write "guest" in the logbook.
We have an "If we have it, we give it," philosophy. During the course of each meal, we may distribute items ranging from food staples, hygiene supplies, winter gear, and other goods depending on the generosity of our community. We tell our guests that we cannot plan on sharing these types of resource each time, but we will share what we have when we are able. If you have a specific need, please see one of our crew leaders.
