Once each week, a participating civic organization, church, professional or other group will provide the core components of a free and nutritious meal. Extra and unused food from restaurants, caterers and grocery stores will supplement the meal or be used on a take-out basis.

One goal of the program is to provide a hot, healthy, nutritious meal to individuals and families who would otherwise go without. A second goal is to gather area residents around the dinner table to enjoy friendship and fellowship.
