Casserole Donation

Casserole donations are a simple and effective way to provide comforting meals to the large numbers of shelter guests we serve daily. There is nothing like a hearty, home-cooked meal to nourish the body and soul during a time of hardship.

To serve the guests at both of our shelters, we require about 54 casseroles per day. On average, we serve casseroles four times per week. That’s 216 casseroles per week or around 1,000 per month. Every donation helps!
Our food donation dock is open every day 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. to receive food donations. Click on the link below for directions. (We request that all casseroles be delivered all together and FROZEN.)
The Casserole Donation Guide explains how to organize a large casserole donation. It also provides helpful information for your casserole cooks, including recommended recipes.

Bag Lunch Donation

The Bag Lunch ministry is essential for our two Gateway Shelters and augments our daily menu. Bag lunches allow us to accommodate those guests who stay in our “overflow” areas and/or guests who are unable to eat a meal on-site due to appointments and/or work commitments.

We utilize approximately 125 bag lunches daily. If you can provide 125 or more, great! If not, we are very grateful for whatever you can offer.
Our food donation dock is open every day 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. to receive food donations. Click on the link below for directions.
The Bag Lunch Donation Guide has instructions and helpful tips for how to prepare a bag lunch donation.
