Program areas at Face To Face
Dining room - our dining room alleviates hunger by serving warm, nourishing meals To low income families as well as single and homeless individuals. We welcome guests friday, saturday, sunday, monday, and tuesday. In 2022 we served 22,339 meals. For our guests our dining room is much more than a place To get a hot meal; it is their family room where they feel part of a community that values them. We open our doors by 9am and invite people To sit, relax, read, enjoy coffee and socialize while they wait for the meal. It is through our dining room that we learn of our guests challenges and refer them To our other programs for help. We have a dedicated group of over 1,200 volunteers each year, and they are a huge part of what makes our dining room a success.
