Choose an upcoming night and provide a meal that can serve 14 – 16 youth at our Drop-In Center. Per food safety guidelines, all meals brought into HOPE 4 Youth need to be prepared in a licensed kitchen.

There are three options:
  • Prepare a meal off-site in a licensed community kitchen (church, school, etc) or our kitchen at HOPE 4 Youth.
  • Purchase retail foods to be prepared onsite. Must be unopened and labeled (ex: take and bake lasagna; retail meal items like Costco or Simek’s; Cub foods deli items). Sandwiches can be prepared and put together on-site if you bring in the ingredients needed.
  • Bring in food from a restaurant.

    Dinner meal donations need to be received by 4:30 pm to be served between 5 -6 pm You may have access to the kitchen earlier if needed.

    Once you have chosen a date, Mari Dahlke, Community Engagement Coordinator, will be reaching out with further details and information.
