These meals are offered to the underserved in our local community. Some of you have asked why we don’t provide take-out meals. Our purpose is to provide an opportunity to dine together and share conversation and information. That sharing is lost if we offer take-out meals. Unfortunately, we can not accept canned food as we do not have the space available for storing them. We also try to provide fresh or frozen vegetables when possible.

Because the main dishes we serve are made by us, it is a unique experience for many of our guest. And, they have said “thank you” many times. It is a privilege to be a part of this ministry. Our menu selection is sent to our parishioners who help prepare and serve the meal through an email.

If you are interested in working with the Open Arms ministry, please contact Kathryn Keersmaekers at 784- 3202. You will be added to our mailing list. God Bless these fine peoplle.
