Our Hunger Prevention Program consists of a soup kitchen and food pantry, open every Saturday except the first Saturday of the month from 10AM to 11 AM. We usually open earlier than 10 AM, as the line waiting for us to open is very long. Approximately 700 people or more are fed in our soup kitchen during this time. They are served eggs, potatoes, cereal, bread, fruit, juice, coffee and milk.

​In an effort to restore a sense of dignity to those ordinarily relegated to food lines, our seated guests are served an all-you-can-eat hot breakfast in a restaurant-style setting. Most of our guests “fill up” as much as they can, knowing they will not have a meal like this for another week; one person still holds the record – 22 plates of food eaten in one sitting! Guests are also encouraged to take part in our food pantry program, which supplies emergency and supplemental food in grocery bags.
