'Lunch Bunch' Meal Program
This lunch program provides free meals twice a week: Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. All meals are served in our sit-down dining area. Beyond food, this program fosters a sense of community, support, and faith in action. Those who attend receive a meal and experience encouragement, fellowship, and renewed hope.
