Monthly Dinners

Members of the Sewickley Presbyterian Church offer the community a hot dinner once a month, providing a warm meal and fellowship for those who use the services.

"We typically serve the Thursday after the food pantry [does] so that they can advertise the meal through their clients," said the Rev. Scott Hoffman, associate pastor at the church.

According to Rev. Hoffman, church members coordinate the meals, sign up and prepare various dishes. They then take the food to the center and serve to anyone who comes for the meals. "It is great for us because we have a chance to serve those in our community and a great way for intergenerational participation in volunteering," he said.
