A MINISTRY AT WORK

When this ministry first began at 1st United Methodist Church we fed around 9-thousand people each year.  In 2017, that number had grown to 12-thousand.  Combined with the meals served at Welcome Table at New Providence Presbyterian Church, that number climbs to 26-thousand.

  • The average cost of a meal at Welcome Table is around $3.  
  • Donations are received from area businesses. 
  • There is no charge to guests for Welcome Table meals. 
  • Chef Amelia Geis-Scott coordinates the meals at both churches.


For questions about the ministry or donating to it contact our chef Amelia Geis-Scott.
