Welcome to the Table
Bag lunch participants enter Central United Methodist Church greeted with a warm smile and are welcomed with a meal ticket to receive a bag lunch.
Most bag lunches consist of a choice of sandwich and a bag lunch that includes items such as crackers, fruit, a juice box, chips and/or a granola bar.
Participants enjoy fellowship and eat together every Monday and Thursday and have been doing so for more than 30 years. Between 200-400 individuals are served a Bag Lunch each day thanks in large part to our participating bag lunch organizations.
There is a buffet of opportunities to choose from. We are more than physical nourishment. We seek to nourish the soul by offering services and creative venues for impoverished and homeless individuals. These include:
Twice a month, clients have an option of seeing our Nurse Practictioner to receive medical treatment, have health concerns answered and be assisted in navigating the health care system. After bag lunch, A Safe Journey Program hosts group sessions for participants to become involved in.
