This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

As we gather with family and friends this weekend, may we also take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of those who served.

❤️ Lunch will still be served on Monday as scheduled. We look forward to welcoming and serving our community.

We need your help ❤️

Our kitchen serves around 100 meals a day, and volunteers are what make that possible.

We’re trying a new volunteer signup system through SignUpGenius to make scheduling easier for everyone. You can now sign up directly through our website.

👉 Please use the volunteer link on our website to choose a date or team slot.

As with any new system, there may be a few bumps along the way while we get everything running smoothly. If you have any trouble signing up, please reach out directly to Darwin by email and we’ll make sure you get on the schedule.

Whether you cook, serve, clean, pray, donate, or simply show up with a willing heart — you make a difference.

Church groups, civic organizations, businesses, families, and individuals are all welcome to volunteer.
