| Friendship Feast |
| In early winter of 2000, members of the First Presbyterian Church heard about a homeless man living under a bridge here in Dodge City. Feeling the need to reach out to the homeless and less fortunate in town, members discussed what could be done to help them. One of the members offered to pay a cook's salary for one week. Food was quickly collected and two weeks before Christmas, Friendship Feast opened its doors. That first day, Friendship Feast served seven people. Word of mouth spread swiftly and by the end of the week, more people were coming. Seeing the need for nourishing and warm meals for these people along with the desire to continue this ministry, the decision was made to keep the kitchen open for another week. Friendship Feast became so successful that it has become one of the primary missions of the First Presbyterian Church. Friendship Feast is a non-profit organization that depends entirely on donations and contributions from the community. Not only is this a church mission, it has become a community mission. Most of the work is done by volunteers from the church and the community, with the assistance of a couple of paid staff. Friendship Feast is open Monday through Friday 11:30 am to 12:45 pm. Free will donations are accepted for the meal. "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:40 If you would like to make a monetary donation, please send checks to the First Presbyterian Church, 803 Central Avenue, Dodge City, Kansas 67801. |
