Each week, Church Lunch (previously known as Open Table Lunch) offers a free, home-cooked meal for 70–100 college students. More than just lunch, it’s a place where students build community, find support, and know they are welcome.
We're seeking volunteers to provide a meal during our fall semester at our Sign Up Genius. Through your in-kind donation of a meal, your church or group becomes an important partner in this ministry of hospitality. Whether you prepare the food yourselves or purchase it, your generosity helps create a space where students can connect, rest, and enjoy a good meal together.
How it works:
- Choose a date that works for your group.
- Plan a meal for approximately 70–100 students.
- The meal goes from 11-1 pm, and your group is invited to stay, serve the meal, and visit with students.
- We provide the drinks, cutlery, silverware, etc.
Simple meals are always appreciated (and often better)! Some student favorites include tacos, pasta, baked potato bars, chili, soup and sandwiches, breakfast for lunch, and casseroles. Please include a vegetarian option, and don't forget dessert!
Thank you for sharing your time, generosity, and hospitality. Together, we’re creating a welcoming place where college students can enjoy a meal, build relationships, and experience the care of the wider community.
