Mission
We reach out to the people in the Milwaukee central city community who come to All Saints Catholic Church for their evening meal. Participants come for a variety of reasons such as financial needs exceeding resources; loneliness; physical or mental challenges; or the inability to prepare a meal at home.

Activities
Volunteers provide a hearty, healthy evening meal that is served in the All Saints Parish Hall (just off Capitol Drive at 26th Street.) Six or more volunteers are needed each evening to set up and serve the food and visit with the guests.

Who Can Participate
Women, men and school or college students of any denomination are invited to volunteer. Children in third grade or older are welcome to join their parents. Volunteers are encouraged to bring family members, friends and neighbors. The only requirement is a desire to help others!

Some volunteers provide food, some go to the site to help with the meal and others do both- provide and help. The level of commitment is up to you.

Types of Donations Needed
Food, beverages and supplies for our meal service. What and how much will vary each month. Volunteers who have expressed a desire to help will be contacted to find out their availability for each month.

Time Commitment
SFB provides the meal on the second Thursday of each month. The meal is served at 5:30 p.m., so workers arrive between 4:30 and 5 p.m. Once the meal is finished and clean up is completed, volunteers head home – generally by 7:30 p.m. Carpooling is arranged and new volunteers are paired with veteran helpers.
