Each Wednesday at 3:30pm, Lutheran Church of the Cross opens its doors and invites all who wish to join us in a spaghetti meal. It costs nothing to eat; this meal is open for anyone who wishes to partake in the feed. Our diners are overwhelmingly predominantly homeless, senior citizens or other people on limited income, and are for the most part unable to financially contribute to the meal.

Many meals ended in Berkeley due to the COVID pandemic, and LCC was one of the few that remained constant able to adapt our structure to conditions and distancing guidelines.

We need regular volunteers to help ensure we are able to provide constant service to these people who food insecure. In particular we need those who can help serve every Wednesday between 4-5pm and to clean up afterwards. Be here at 3:30pm if possible.
