Hot meals and sometimes sandwiches are served Mon, Wed, & Fri from 12:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. Preparation begins @11:00 a.m. Clean-up usually ends at 2:30. Individuals who volunteer determine for themselves the amount of time that is feasible to donate to the outreach program. We serve an average of 30-40 people on either of those days. We also serve as a clothing bank. Individuals needing a few food items to "tie them over" for a few days will be serviced. We are not a recognized/an authorized food bank.
Hot meals are provided in carry out containers. Only carry out meals are provided. Patrons use hand sanitizer upon entering the area where the meals are handed out. There is a plastic barrier between the volunteer and patron; thus, there is no physical contact between volunteer and patron. Masks are worn by everyone. Only one patron at a time is permitted to enter the area where the meals are handed out.

Description
HarvestTime Inner City Ministries (HTICM) is an ecumenical mission project that serves hot meals to the community three days per week (M, W, & F) from 12:00 noon until 2:00 p.m. The mission project has been in operation for over 20 years.
The project serves 100 - 300 meals per week. Each meal includes a meat, 2 vegetables or 1 vegetable and starch, bread (usually), dessert and drink. The number varies depending on the weather, time of the month (with respect to the food stamp distribution/mailing and/or monthly fixed income), and school closings. Considering the need to ensure menu items are at the project, to ensure volunteers report to the project so it is open for serving meals, and in attending to maintenance matters, operation of the project and preparation for the serving days is ongoing.
