Once a month, families and community members are invited to a free dinner in our high school cafeteria, with no agenda but to build relationships and have a family meal. This inspired idea meets multiple needs in our rural, low-income community, where food insecurity and social isolation impact many households. Each month we have a different community organization or group (Community Bible Church, the school board, the parent-teacher organization, Concrete Town Council or high school staff, to name a few) provide the meal, volunteers and promotion for the meal.
