Open Meals This Spring

We are looking forward, hopeful for Spring and all that it brings with it — warmer temps, longer days, and eventually beautiful flowers! We are planning our meals for April and have a number of open dates that need filling.

For breakfast we serve between 40-60 guests, and for lunch we serve around 60 guests. Meal services are at 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., respectively.

We are grateful for the ongoing support we receive from individuals, church groups, businesses, and other organizations who, month after month, help us feed our homeless guests.

Here are the open dates, as well as some of our guests’ favorite foods, and a link to some frequently asked questions. We welcome your help and are happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you!
