Meals are important to the mission of the Chapel. Because
90% of the youth who come to the Chapel qualify for free
or reduced meals at school, it is very important to feed
those same youth as a part of the Chapel's programs. Over
200 meals are served annually--including dinners after school,
and breakfast and lunch during summer camps. Meals are also
an important part of Girls Club.
An increasing number of volunteers prepare
and serve the evening meals during the school year. Many
groups volunteer to serve at least once a month to make
these meal times special. Best of all, by serving meals
and sitting and eating with our children, the volunteers
are providing needed contact and love for many who need
the love of God expressed in their lives.
Over 14,000 individual meals are
served each year as part of our programs.
