Part of our call as a church in the Kirkwood neighborhood is to respond to some of the needs that are around us – to be in ministry WITH our community. |

On the last Saturday of the month we set a table for the poor and the hungry in our community. We offer more than just a meal and toiletry supplies… we also offer love, respect, hospitality and friendship.
When our Food with Friends ministry began as Soup Saturday in 2010 there was a very present need in Kirkwood to be alongside folks who were hungry and existing with very little support and money. While much has changed in this neighborhood – even in the past few years with new construction where dilapidated apartments once were and people moving in every week – hungry folks still remain in need of food and fellowship. |
|
In just one year we provided over 400 bags of food to the hungry in Kirkwood, handing out almost 20 bags each Soup Saturday. Each bag contains 8-10 cans and boxes of food, plus loose items such as snacks, and treats. To provide a consistent supply of food, we need 350 items per month.
