On the fourth Wednesday of each month, Lutheran Church of Hope provides a meal for Clare House, a 30 day shelter, for homeless women and children managed by Catholic Social Services. Responsibility for providing the Clare House meals is shared within the congregation.  If you would like to sign up for a month please contact Joyce Hudson at 677-3919 or clendaniel_joyce@yahoo.com.

          Before purchasing food for the meal, please Call Laura, the Clare House Manager, at 563-4545. You will need to confirm the number of residents, adult and children, for which you will be providing the evening meal. There is only one staff member on duty in the evening, therefore, the meals should be prepared or easy to assemble. Recommendations are casseroles, stews, soup, pizza, chicken, hot pots, corn dog, etc. (They prefer no pastas.) Ask the manager for suggestions and what they've had recently. The manager prefers the meals be delivered by 3 PM.

Costco is a great place to shop for bulk items.If you have extra funds, Clare House always needs paper products and toilet paper. Sometimes they have special needs such as large diapers and over the counter medications. They greatly appreciate donations.  Thank you for your service!
