Feeding our guests twice a day, and providing nutrition when we are not open, is a priority at Hope Center. Our kitchen is a serve and warm only facility and not a commercial cooking kitchen. We depend on the generosity of donors for meals and Manna Bags (food “to go” to have when Hope Center isn’t open). We usually serve breakfast and lunch to more than 600 guests each week, plus manna bags, snacks, and even dinner service when open during evenings as an emergency shelter.

⚠️ Please check our Facebook Page for emergency needs and updates!
