Lunch on Us, Emanuel Church’s free weekly lunch program, is starting back up for the summer!
Beginning June 10, every Wednesday through August, Emanuel will be serving a free lunch from 11:30am to 1:30pm in their fellowship hall, located through the door off of the parking lot in the rear of the building, 324 West Main Street.
Caterer and former restaurateur, Dawna Stockwell who oversees the food preparation and serving explained that they serve anywhere from 200 to 350 people during lunchtime.
While you can give a donation when eating lunch, it is not expected. The donations received along with grants they have received go to pay for future free meals for the community.
In recognition that school is out for the summer and they will be feeding many children, the church opens their gym for play during lunch and also provides legos.
Stockwell added, “This is for everyone not just children or grandparents. Everyone is welcome!”
Come enjoy a free lunch and help spread the word!
