The IFCH free Community Meals Program has been in existence for well over a decade. It has gone through many changes over the years, and the most dramatic change happened during COVID. The Community Meal Program stopped abruptly when COVID hit the island. Knowing that these meals are a lifeline for some people, we knew we had to do something. We took over all the meal preparation and handed out sandwiches and soup to go. IFCH has been working hard to bring back this important community asset.
We have hired two people to coordinate the program. We have teams cooking delicious, balanced, nutritious, hot meals. We are again serving these meals five days a week. People can dine inside, or if they choose, can have a take-out meal.
All are welcome! These meals are for our whole community. Our program emphasizes nutritious community meals, where people can meet and enjoy good food and company.
The meals program is now located at the Presbyterian Church at 17708 Vashon Hwy SW. Meals are served Monday-Friday, 5:00-5:30, but you may stay longer to mingle and talk.
If you would like volunteer to join our meals team, contact Brownie Carver at bc2vashon@centurytel.com. If you would like to donate, please send a check payable to IFCH to PO Box 330, Vashon, WA 98070.
