In the summer of 2010, recognizing the increased need to help feed people in our community, Eric Nagel, director of the Buffalo Community Center proposed the idea of providing a monthly free meal. Sandy and Roger Brenny from Zion’s Social Ministry Team formed a team with Eric and laid out plans to involve local churches and civic groups to put on a free monthly breakfast with the goal to help reduce local hunger.
Zion provided the first free breakfast last September and other groups followed on the 3rd Saturday of each month over the last year, serving over 2000 residents. It is Zion’s turn again to serve a community meal. Volunteers are needed on Saturday, September 17, from 7-11am. Sign up at the information desk.
In the second year of this program, a quarterly free evening meal at the Community Center is also planned.
