The Community Lunch on Capitol Hill provides full hot meals to homeless and low income people in our community each Tuesday and Friday at noon at Central Lutheran Church. Our mission statement: Feeding the Community, Serving the Community, Creating Community.
Description:
Volunteer groups are the key to our success. Groups work 9:30 until 2:00 setting up, preparing the meal, serving and cleaning up. We serve with silverware and real plates, not paper. In addition to the main dish we serve salad, fruit, desserts, beverages, and sandwiches which guests can take with them for a later meal. All the food is prepared by volunteers, but no cooking experience is necessary! Groups of 15-20 people work best, but 8-10 people is fine, and individual volunteers are welcome as well. We often schedule two smaller groups together if you wish.
History:
Community Lunch has been served at Central Lutheran Church for over 20 years. It became an independent non-profit 5-years ago to qualify for a wider range of funding. The first lunch had 9 guests; now we average 180 to 200, with some days even busier!
