We employ a staff that is responsible for cooking the meals, washing dishes, ensuring security and a welcoming presence at the door, and overseeing the work of the volunteers that help serve each meal.

The Wednesday volunteer shift runs from 10 am to 1:00 pm. The Sunday volunteer shift runs from 11:45 am to 2:30 pm. The goal is to have 6 volunteers at each meal.
Volunteers play an essential role!
Setting tables, assisting with meal preparation, serving food, and helping with cleanup.
Volunteers 16-17 years old are welcome with an adult and a signed permission slip.
A thank you to Mary Ellen West and her family for providing 35 bag lunches on a May Sunday. They also did this a few times last year. We sincerely appreciate this most generous gift!
In 2022, we served 10,405 meals. That is one of our highest years ever in terms of meals served and was 465 more than 2021.
As of May 31, the number of meals served year to date in 2023 is more than 900 more than in 2022 at the same time.
Recently we have received some generous equipment gifts. Mrs. H.P. Clark gave us a meat slicer. Mary Ann Hrankowski donated a Cuisinart and a food processor. Pete Rothfuss provided a microwave.
