Grace Cafe Returns to Elmhurst Churches for Tenth Season
Fourteen Elmhurst churches join to offer two free hot meals each month to community members beginning August 22.
On August 22 Grace Café returns to the Elmhurst community for its tenth year. Grace Café was started in 2007 as an ecumenical mission project to provide a free hot meal to anyone in the community and is currently supported by fourteen Elmhurst churches whose members provide two hot dinners per month for their guests. This year offers 20 opportunities for fellowship and sharing a meal, from August through the beginning of June, 2017. Community members who are hungry, lonely, facing a tight budget or are eager to share dinner, companionship and conversation with other folks are invited to attend Grace Café. Meals will be served starting at 5:00 p.m. and concluding at 6:30 p.m. at the Elmhurst churches listed below. No reservations are needed and meals are free of charge to anyone who would enjoy them. For additional information, please call Kelley at First United Methodist Church at 630-834-2440.
