Emmanuel Dining RoomThe Emmanuel Dining Room committee cooks and serves lunch for Emmanuel East on the 27th of each month for 180-250 people. We cook the food in the church kitchen and then take the meals to the Emmanuel dining room and serve. We also have a ministry that delivers to the Emanuel Dining Room on Rogers Road, ever 3rd Tuesday of the month. We have a signup genius for preparing pans of hot dogs and beans at home. Everyone brings the prepared pans to the church hall & then Patti Small delivers them around 9:30AM.
Contact Patti Small if interested in helping.

Our annual Fall Food Drive for local food closets is held every September and we will have bags available at all exits. If you are able to help, please take a bag and fill it with non-perishable food items, then return it the following weekend. We will have people available 15 minutes before each of the Masses that weekend to collect your bags and place them in the truck on site. We normally need help on the Monday we distribute the food to the Food Closets.
