St. Susan Center — Story
A meal being served at St. Susan Center

This is more than a meal.

For some of our neighbors, lunch at St. Susan’s is the one hot meal they will have that day. For others it is a familiar face, a kind word, and somewhere warm to sit. We try to give all of it.

Every plate comes with a hot entrée, fresh fruit and vegetables, and a snack to take along. It is cooked here, served to your table, and it is always free. Hunger does not take a holiday, so we close only four days a year.

None of it happens without people. A small staff and more than seventy five volunteers cook, serve, and clean side by side, every week, because this town shows up for its own.

“Since 1984, St. Susan’s has been a welcoming refuge for thousands in the Jamestown area.”
