Share Your Heart - Hot Meals for Hope
The Third Story (T3S) facilitates after-school and summer programs for kids living in an at-risk urban neighborhood. Some of our kids will not get a nourishing dinner unless provided by the church or some social organization. T3S is looking for church groups, Bible Study groups, Sunday school classes or other small groups who would be willing to purchase, prepare and serve a meal to a group of our children. This can be done one time or on a more consistent basis. Our goal is to give our children a child friendly meal that is as healthy as possible. A typical meal consists of:
Main Dish
Fruits and/or Vegetables
Bread or Rolls (optional)
One SMALL Dessert Per Child
Please read our Meal Provider Info Sheet before you come. It includes helpful details, policies and meal ideas. Thanks so much for taking part in our hot meal ministry!
Please:
- NO Chips
- NO Drinks - our kids are in the great habit of drinking water with their meals!
- SMALL portion sizes
Important Info for Meal Providers:
- Our goal is to have dinner ready to go at 5:00 each evening.
- We have a full kitchen and we will provide all the plates, cups and silverware.
- Please be prepared to feed 30-35 people on Wednesdays and feed 25-30 people on Thursdays including kids and adult staff.
- You are welcome to bring your own children. We encourage children 12 and under to join our neighborhood kids in the on-going activities happening at the church while you are preparing and serving your meal.
- We ask that you keep your serving group to 8 people or less (including children). If you're looking for a meal project for a larger group to help out with, please check out our "Smart Sacks" Dinner Ministry.
- All meals will be served at First Avenue Church - 120 W. First Avenue.

"and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday...
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings."
Isaiah 58:10,12
