Mission Statement

It is the mission of Sunday Suppers to share friendship with the people we serve and establish relationships that continue from week to week.

Description

Once a week, Sunday Suppers sets up tables and chairs on the sidewalk, pushes Motown, Soul and R&B out big speakers and shares an hour and 15 minutes visiting with people at two different sites. As important as the food and clothing we provide are, they are secondary to the real heart of the program, sharing friendship and establishing relationships.

Our 1 meal a week will not keep anyone alive, physically. Yet, some of the people we serve have told us that we are the best friends they have. Together with the people we serve, we create a culture of our own on streets that are normally hostile. It is a culture where people look each other in the eye, enjoy conversation and food and where hugging is normal behavior.

I am the acting Executive Director of Sunday Suppers, so my 5-star review should be taken with a grain of salt. That said, give us a chance and I bet you'll agree with my sentiment! I look forward to seeing you on a Sunday very soon! Will
