Until the Story is Told - The Community Meal

Food is a basic necessity.
Every Monday, food is ready for anyone who needs it.
This weekly meal lets people focus on other things in their life.
Starting with a small indoor gathering distributing 30-70 meals.
Growing into something bigger than expected.
With new ideas, volunteers, lots of work,
the meal now feeds an average of 140 people.
Volunteers show up no matter what,
even in horrible weather; there is need.
This meal feeds and helps build connections in the community.
It’s one and a half hours of all ages and all communities gathering.
It is rewarding to help people and to meet new people along the way.
An immediate impact that changes lives.
Living in a wealthy community,
it’s still important to acknowledge the need for food.
It’s clear with the turn out, it has a lasting impact.
Everyone is welcome.
Everyone deserves a meal.
Whether you’re too tired to cook.
Whether you don’t have the resources.
The reason doesn’t matter, this meal is for you.
This community is made to serve.
Looking for ways to reach even more people.
Seeking God through service.
Seeking God in others.
