As in years past, those needing a meal may call the Mission at 765-456-3838 to have your meals delivered. We will be accepting calls for delivery meals November 9th – November 25th 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. The meals will be delivered to homes between 10:30 am – noon the day of Thanksgiving.

Drive through and Grab & Go meals will be offered at Grace United Methodist Church from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm on Thanksgiving Day.

We will need many volunteers to successfully provide warm needed meals to our neighbors.

To volunteer and select your position, please call 765-456-3838 ask for a Volunteer Coordinator.  To comply with CDC guidelines, you must be registered ahead of the event to volunteer and wear a mask/social distance.  We ask that all young children and those not serving, not attend the event.

This season more than ever, we want to extend a warm invitation to all who would like a meal.  We treasure the opportunity to use this year to encourage our fellow neighbors and remind them that we care and they are not alone.
