Here are for FAQs about providing a meal this semester:

How many people will there be? This year we have averaged about 20 people at our gatherings, so as of now planning on 25 students should be about right (and students are always excited to take leftovers home).

What are the dietary restrictions? We have one students who is Vegan and Gluten-Free, so if your meal won’t have anything for her please let me know so I can make other arrangements for her. We typically have two or three vegetarians in the group, so the whole meal does not need to be meatless, but please make sure there is still enough food for our vegetarians to enjoy a full meal. We also have one student with diabetes if that effects your plans at all.

Does it need to be a homecooked meal? Nope! You are welcome to provide any meal you’d like, whether it’s something you’ve made or something you’ve purchased.

Can I cook at the Campus Ministry building? Sure! We have two ovens and a stovetop and an assortment of cooking utensils and bowls/trays/etc. If you’d like to do your cooking here, you might want to plan on bringing your own essential cookware or check with us ahead of time to make sure we have what you need.

What time should I arrive and when will we be done? Our Sunday schedule starts with some formation time (“Sunday School”) from 4:30-5:30, and then we worship from about 5:30-6:30, and then dinner starts about 6:30. You’d be welcome to come as early as you need, or you could roll in closer to 6:15 with food ready. Either way, we hope you’ll stick around and eat with us so that we can connect with you during dinner, and you can get a glimpse of what this community is like. We stay pretty late sometimes, so you’re welcome to hang out a while or just drop off the meal and go.

Other questions? Please give a call or email and ask! We’re so grateful for your help and we want to assist you any way we can. Thanks!
