What: A local ministry that seeks to make a difference by loving the unhoused one meal at a time. 

When: Meals are served every Thursday, starting at 5:00 p.m. 

Where:

  • Meals are served at 11th and Peoples
  • Donation drop-off location is St. Elmo Methodist Church, 4626 St. Elmo Ave, Chattanooga, TN 37409

Why:

15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.    – James 2:15-17o

Mission

Through every plate, we feed more than just the body. We feed the heart and spirit, building hope one meal at a time.

Vision

To make a difference through a meal and human connection.

We want to build a world where everyone asks, have I made a difference?
