Free Lunch Program
Every Monday at 11:30 AM
In the fall, winter, and spring, we offer a hot lunch at the church. In the summer months, we offer a sandwich meal. All are welcome to join for lunch, and there is no cost for the meal.
As supplies allow, we also offer toiletries, feminine hygiene products, and other food and household items.
Free Clothing Closet
Every Monday at 11:30 AM
The clothing closet is open during lunch. We stock clothes, shoes, jackets, blankets, gloves, and more for men, women, and children. Availability of items varies. Stop in to see what we might have for you!
Mobile Food Pantry (Grocery Delivery)*
Typically the Second Tuesday of the Month
We partner with the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank to provide about 100 local households with around 50 pounds of groceries. Recipients must signup in advance, and they can pick up their food at the church or have it delivered to them.
*Grocery Delivery for those without transportation or unable to get a ride to pick up their food
Other Services
Mondays at 11:30 AM, Depending on Availability
As we are able, we offer other services that may be helpful to our guests. Examples of previous services on Mondays include voter registration, tax help, COVID vaccine appointments, flu shots, and dental clinics.

Our clothing closet is run almost entirely on donations of clothing. If you have a donation, they can be dropped off in the church office on Wine Street. SAME secures most food from the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank, but there are occasionally needs for food donations.
