Meal Donation

At St. James Haven, we serve a hot, nutritious meal to our guests every evening—and it’s all made possible by the kindness and generosity of our community.
 
If you’d like to donate a meal, we’d be so grateful! Just use the easy-to-access calendar below to pick a day that works best for you.
 
We ask that meals be able to feed up to 16 men, as we can accommodate 15 guests and two resident managers, and our numbers may vary from day to day. Donating a meal is a wonderful way to serve together—with friends, family, church groups, life groups, or co-workers.
 
You’re welcome to prepare a home-cooked meal or order from one of our fantastic local restaurants. Meals may be dropped off between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM on the day you’ve selected. If that time doesn’t work for you or if you have any questions about preparing or dropping off a meal, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Samantha at Samantha.stump@ssjerie.org.
 
Thank you for being a part of this mission and for helping us care for our guests with love and dignity.
