As a Northwestern student, you might be wondering where you can get a free meal on campus. This information will help you find a place nearby.
• Baptist Collegiate Ministries
The Baptist Collegiate Ministries, 1020 College Blvd., serves food to students from 11:35 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. every Wednesday. The food varies from week to week depending on which local church cooks the meal.
The BCM is a campus club based on sharing God’s teachings and fellowship.
Victoria Vasquez, a freshman at NWOSU, said: “I would say that it’s a great experience. They were very welcoming, and they made me always like I was at home. The food was good too. You could tell they made the food from scratch, and wanted you to enjoy it.”
• First Christian Church
The First Christian Church, 821 College Ave., serves a free dinner at 5 p.m. on Wednesdays. Drew Kirkley, the pastor at the church, said: “First Christian Church is a loving congregation that loves to worship God, serve the community, and fellowship together.”
The captain of the women’s golf team, Nikkole Donk, said she goes to the church for free food whenever she has the time.
“First Christian Church is one of the most welcoming groups to be apart of,” she said. “They constantly have a smile on their face no matter what. They not only serve up great taco salad and Sante Fe soup, but they also care about how you’re doing spiritually and emotionally in life.”
• The Wesley House
The Wesley House, 1027 8th St., offers free meals on Thursdays from 11:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The Methodist Church serves the meal.
Brianna Berryman said she likes the food and enjoys the dining experience.
“The Wesley house has very good food, and the environment is really friendly,” Berryman said. “They provide a good service, and the people there are just overwhelmingly nice. The food was very homemade, soups and spaghetti and such.”
