Our Dining Room alleviates hunger by serving hot, nourishing meals to people experiencing poverty. Our meals are made from farm fresh, organic ingredients and served in a hospitable environment that fosters community connection. We open our doors in the morning and invite people to sit, relax, read, enjoy coffee and socialize. We reopened our dining room during the pandemic in July 2021 so guests could sit inside our air-conditioned dining room and enjoy their grab and go meal. Plexiglass dividers are on the tables to provide a personal safe zone for them to eat. We also offer a weekly choice produce market with seasonal fresh options free of charge.
Our volunteers serve the meal as though they were serving guests in their home. Since so many of our guests return on a regular basis, we make it a priority to learn each of their stories and address their individual needs. It is through the relationships that are formed in the dining room that guests are referred to our other programs.
The Social Service Center provides assistance to clients in a wide range of matters including utility and housing assistance, application for benefits, non-driver identification and rent rebate. Our housing navigator specializes in assisting clients/ guests with their specific housing needs including touring an apartment, meeting with a landlord and developing a budget. Our Social Service Center collaborates with other programs to ensure each guest’s needs are addressed as fully as possible.
