Community Meals

We're so glad you're here.

Community Meals is a ministry dedicated to addressing food insecurity throughout the greater College Park area. In addition to serving our neighbors in College Park, we welcome participants from Greenbelt, New Carrollton, Lanham, Beltsville, and surrounding communities. Our goal is simple: to provide healthy, delicious, and nutritious meals that nourish both body and spirit.

Here's how it works: Our team prepares fresh meals each week for pickup on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our menu generally features an entrée, an accompaniment, and a dessert.

We suggest a donation of $15 per meal, but no one is ever turned away because of an inability to give. If you're unable to make the suggested donation, we invite you to contribute whatever you can—or simply receive a meal with our blessing.

If you are experiencing financial hardship or food insecurity, you are welcome to receive one free meal at each pickup day for up to one month. We hope this provides support during a difficult season while connecting you with a community that cares.

If your need continues beyond one month, please don't hesitate to contact us. We understand that every situation is different, and we will gladly work with you to explore continued meal assistance and connect you with additional community resources whenever possible.

Every donation helps make it possible to provide meals for neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Your generosity allows us to continue building a caring community where everyone has a place at the table.

The deadline for making reservations for Tuesday's and Thursday's meals is noon for both days. We strive to craft menus that offer diverse cultural experiences and cater to specific dietary needs, such as vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Our menus often feature a variety of cuisines, including Latin American, New American, Middle Eastern, and more.
