Local Outreach

Sunday Supper

In collaboration with local faith communities, Sunday Supper provides a dinner every Sunday at 5:30 pm to our neighbors who are in need of a good meal. Aldersgate volunteers serve dinner on the third Sunday of every month. Our guests include single people and families who are struggling with finances, homelessness, or are simply in need of companionship.

Volunteer duties include: Food shopping, setup, food preparation, food service, and clean up. Each volunteer serves one to two hours, depending on the assigned job, and all volunteers must be over 12 years old.

It is currently scheduled to open in 2022 and will be located in Tustin.
