Community Corner

Community Outreach Brunch

Welcome to the Table, a Community


Outreach Brunch serving residents of Long Branch and surrounding towns.

Providing Hope, a 501 (c) (3) organization welcomes

residents of Long Branch and surrounding towns to the table for a monthly

Community Outreach Brunch.    St. Luke’s

United Methodist Church will host the brunch on January 26th and the

4th Sunday of each month thereafter.



In an effort to address hunger and the stigma associated

with asking for help, the brunch provides a social, relaxing environment for

our neighbors that are struggling with food insecurity.

The hunger epidemic has resulted with our neighbors barely

surviving, the tragedy of one in six children not having enough to eat,

families must depend on convenience stores and take out for their food supply,

where stress is high because people feel so alone.  It doesn’t have to be like this. 

Providing Hope currently offers community wellness programs

in the town of Long Branch with an emphasis on the epidemic of childhood

obesity and hunger, two problems inextricably linked.  The goal of the brunch is to unite families

to create healthy communities with support from local businesses and community

groups.
