Meals
Multiple generations gather from 5:30 to 6:30p for an affordable community dinner in Fellowship Hall at Manchester UMC. Open to the public, these dinners are an opportunity to enjoy delicious food, uplifting entertainment, friendly people, and optional programs afterwards. Even better, you won’t have to cook or clean up!
Volunteer
Help make the Meals and Ministry (M&M) program possible by signing up to volunteer for one or more of the 13 meals scheduled for this Spring semester. You can choose from different volunteer roles/positions based on your interests (e.g. cooking, serving, organizing, etc.) and availability. Support and training is provided for those volunteering in new roles.
Sign up to volunteer by Sunday night before meal and your meal is FREE on the weeks you volunteer!
