Come feed the hungry and make new friends.
​
Every week All Saints Church organizes the Saturday Community Meal, which provides a nourishing, complete dinner to the homeless, the needy, and the lonely in our neighborhood. Up to 100 are our dinner guests every week. Cooking or serving is a grace-filled way for you to show love.
​
In the winter, our guests come in from the cold to enjoy a hot, home-cooked meal, along with fellowship, a friendly atmosphere, and often entertainment. Our Community Meals are lovingly served to seated guests, rather than our asking them to file through a serving line with plate outstretched. We often hear how welcome this simple touch makes our guests feel. It does mean your help is needed even more, though.
​
Volunteers are needed on Saturday afternoons throughout the year to set up (set tables, fold napkins, put out serving pieces, make coffee and iced tea–there’s a job to utilize everyone’s abilities), or in summer, to help fill bag suppers. Your help is needed, especially in the first set-up shift, beginning about 1:00. To help serve, come at 4:15. Winter clean-up is finished by 6:15pm.
​
During summer, the Community Meal is a nutritious brown bag supper. Volunteers make sandwiches beginning at 2, then guests are invited in from 4pm - 5pm to eat in the garden or Levy Hall, or to take out.

This program has been a blessing and joy to all volunteers. You decide how you’d like to participate.
​
Do you find yourself at a loss for ideas when it’s time to buy another birthday or Father’s Day gift? The cost of one Saturday’s meal is between $200 and $250. Wouldn’t your mother be proud for you to donate in her name, giving her the opportunity to feed the hungry the way she once lovingly fed you? It’s a beautiful way to memorialize someone.
​
Your names and the reason for your contribution (appreciation, a special commemoration, living memorial, birthday, etc.) will be listed in the Sunday bulletin, and if you like, a letter will be sent to those you are honoring.
​
Donations are welcome via email, phone or by
