  • Order a meal on our Community Tab and pay what you like.
  • Know of a friend or neighbor who could use a hot meal? Order one on the Community Tab and take it to them.
  • Are you in a place financially to “Lend a Hand”? Consider adding funds to our “Lend a Hand” account which is used to cover our costs for free meals.
