Love Lunches

Serving Our Community

Love Lunches helps provide consistent meals to children and families who are food insecure during the summer months. We provide healthy lunches and a place to connect with others from our community. The need continues to grow as families' incomes are stretched thin with rising grocery prices. The Ridge partners with other local churches to make this program possible.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with Brandy Young or call 515-965-1737, ext. 224.
