First Church continues to support the Hope Dining Room Mission as it has since its inception over 25 years ago.  We serve a hot, freshly prepared lunch the second Monday of each month at the Kingswood United Methodist Church on Marrows Road in Newark.  The funds for our participation in this endeavor are provided through the “Mission and Outreach Committee” of our church.  The number of meals served varies from 60 to 80, but with a slight increase being noticed each month.  If you are in need, you can come and eat with no questions asked.

We have a wonderful, dedicated group of people who both cook and serve the meals each time.  Many others volunteer as personal schedule and time allows.

This is a wonderful way to provide a needed service in our community.
