Hope Lutheran serves six Monday night meals each year as part of the city-wide Loaves & Fishes program. In 2024, Hope prepared 1,034 meals, nearly twice as many meals as last year. We have seen an increase in the number of Fond du Lac families struggling with food insecurity. Our congregation’s support is very important to many of our neighbors. Our standard meal includes chicken, potato wedges, fresh carrots, 2 home-made cookies, bread & butter, and milk. Any extra meals are delivered to the St. Katharine Drexel Shelter. In 2024, 134 meals (plus any extra food) were delivered to the shelter.
Hope Lutheran has between 8-13 volunteers serving at each of the meals. We supplement our congregation’s donations with the financial support of Thrivent Action teams and this year we also received a local Kwik Trip grant.
Since there are no meals offered next week, Hope also provided food gift bags. Items included this year were an apple, orange, sausage stick, string cheese, fruit snacks, homemade snack mix, trail mix, cookies, Hot Chocolate, and a couple candy canes and Hershey kisses.
Please continue to pray for our neighbors who struggle with food insecurity and those who serve them. We would like to thank our volunteers and donors for their dedication to our mission.
2025 Save the Dates: August 18th, October 6th, December 8th.
Thank you!
