Events
Free monthly events where no one goes hungry
Once a month, our Beaver Meadows center fills with neighbors for a free meal from Nick's Café and something fun — bingo, paint & sip, karaoke, picnics, backpack giveaways. Everyone is welcome, and everything is free.
What to expect
Every event centers on a free, chef-prepared community meal — Pastor Upton’s son Nick runs Nick’s Café, “a place where everyone eats,” for the occasion — plus activities that change month to month. Families connect with each other, and partner service agencies are often on hand so you can get questions answered over dinner instead of across a desk.
The events differ from month to month, but they all carry the same theme: a place where no one goes hungry.

Every week: Men's Bible Study

Fundraising events
Our fundraisers keep the pantry trucks rolling. If your business or church would like to sponsor an event — or host one for us — we would love to talk. See partnership options or get in touch.
