We are excited to join forces with another Northland organization that has been bringing warm meals to the houseless community “picnic style” for the past four years. What used to be Free Hot Soup of the Northland, is now Community Meals. Our group of dedicated folks serve the Northland every Sunday at Chaumiere Park from 2pm to 3pm. All services are free of charge to all.
