Looking for free food around campus? This handy guide will help.
The Wesley House, 1027 8th St., is across the street from Shockley Hall. Volunteers serve lunch Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Different churches volunteer to provide meals for the students and decide what meal they want to bring. Some meals that churches have brought in the past include pizza, hot dogs and sloppy joes. The Wesley House provides meals to share the love of Jesus, said Wesley House intern Josie Gibson.
Faith Center Fellowship, 324 College Ave., serves potluck-style home-cooked meals every Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., with a Bible study following. The reason the Faith Center started serving meals is because people will always come to a place that offers free food, according to Taylor Phillips. The meal time is also an opportunity for fellowship.
The First Christian Church, 821 College Ave., has meals every Wednesday of the fall and spring semesters at 5 p.m. The church has a different home-cooked meal each week, but it usually rotates between taco salad, brisket sandwiches and Santa Fe soup, according to Emily Bohlen, one of the church cooks. The church serves meals to give students a place to get away from campus.
