Community Meal

At St. Dunstan's we prepare and host a self-serve buffet dinner every Tuesday evening from 5pm to 6:30pm. All are welcome to join the community and be fed.
We invite everyone, no matter where they find themselves in life
or in their spiritual journey, to come and share a meal.

One of the things that sets our dinner apart is that from the very beginning we have always served food buffet style so that guests can serve themselves.

The community meal offers good food and fellowship to both the guests who come to eat and the volunteers who come to prepare and serve. Our volunteers include folks from the church, from the neighborhood, and others who have found a place to belong. We honor all contributions and appreciate all gifts.

“There’s a salad, there’s hot food, there’s gravy, there’s tasty wholesome food that you’re welcome to pile it on as much as you can because, if that’s what it takes to make you feel human…for two hours…I’ve done my job.”

- Josef Hinkofer, founding chef
