COVID-19 Update: FEASTING WITH FRIENDS IS temporarily suspended to
redirect efforts towards food sourcing for our partners/neighbors and
to the Lake Lunches Program
[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lake-lunches-tickets-100044327276] and
Food Pantry [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/87444818807]. We have
adapted our volunteer efforts to allow for physical distancing for
volunteers while serving.
-------------------------
Feasting with Friends is a food ministry of Lake Merritt United
Methodist Church in partnership with the Housing Consortium of the
East Bay. Through this program, we prepare a hot meal for 40 people.
Meal is prepared with a small team of people at LMUMC kitchen and then
delivered to the Lake Merritt Community Cabins where meals are shared
with those sheltered and unsheltered.
In kind donations to the programs are always welcome: hygiene kit
supplies, lunch/dinner supplies, socks, t-shirts, warm wear,
store/grocery gift cards etc.
Food and resources are made possible through the Alameda County
Community Food Bank and fundsraised by LAKE MERRITT UNITED METHODIST
CHURCH at annual events like the LIFT Concert. Due to the emerging
COVID-19 spread, we postponed the concert and are now instead focusing
our efforts on raising funds through GoFundMe campaign
[/gf.me/u/xjbzc2]. Please consider donating and spreading the word as
we continue our work at this time.
