Come For Supper


Our Savior’s has been serving a community meal (Come for Supper*) for about 225-250 people every Tuesday night.  And you can help by providing needed items. Items can be brought to the church office (please use the door under the covered walkway on Division Street), Monday – Thursday from 9am – 1pm.

*Come for Supper (CFS) is a response to Jesus’ call to care for our neighbors by providing nutritious free meals served with generosity and love.

CFS was proposed by members of the OSLC Social Ministry Team in 1996 as a reaction to the spiritual command to love our neighbors as well as taking an initiative concerning the problems of poverty and hunger in the La Crosse community. The first CFS meal was served Tuesday, December 3, 1996. Thirty-five guests arrived that night; however, this number has swelled to an average of 200 to 250 guests on any given night. A great many thanks are given to Sonja Simonson Schrag for helping to start the Come for Supper program and keeping it running for ten years. In 2007, Gretchen Crary, Nance Klapper and Rod Tisthammer became the volunteer coordinators of CFS. Along with the core team of OSLC volunteers, the Come for Supper Program has 25 churches/organizations helping serve their guests free meals each Tuesday evening.

The CFS Team is proud to say that we have never missed a Tuesday serving our guests in the past twenty-seven years. With the tremendous support of the Our Savior’s congregation, the Come for Supper Program has been a wonderful success for an out-reach ministry of OSLC.

Meals are served beginning at about 4:15 p.m. every Tuesday of the year in the Fellowship Hall at Our Savior’s (612 Division St., La Crosse, WI).

 

Anyone can be a part of this outreach program!
