Each Wednesday afternoon, volunteers gather at the Campus Ministry House to dish out casseroles, bag chips and cookies, make sandwiches, and prepare hot chocolate or lemonade.
We then head out into the community and serve these meals from our vans. Anyone who comes receives a meal—no questions asked.
Are you interested in participating in our weekly outreach? Would you like to donate a casserole to this effort? Let us know by following the link to the Labre Outreach Summer 2026 Signup OR the Labre Outreach Fall 2026 Signup .
