We serve a free community meal every Sunday from 4 to 6 pm in Walker House at 724 Walnut Street in Murphysboro Illinois. A team of 18 volunteers serve home-cooked food to guests at their table on porcelain plates with stainless tableware. We focus on making our guests feel welcome, comfortable, and appreciated.

Guests enjoy being served by friendly volunteers and dining with their neighbors in surroundings that celebrate the history and diversity of Murphysboro. Volunteers appreciate the opportunity to serve others in a comfortable and organized setting.

During 2024, we served 5,646 meals to more than 450 different people at an average of 111 guests per week. Nine of every ten guests live in households with income below the Federal poverty level, one of every four is under the age of 18, and almost one of every three is a member of our minority community. 

Everyone is welcome and nobody leaves hungry
