MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – In response to community need, the Middletown Methodist Church has expanded its food program and is now announcing some updates.

The Middletown Methodist Church community food program prior to 2012 included, in conjunction with Catholic Charities, a fourth Wednesday Food distribution from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., emergency food bags and first Sunday community dinners.

Beginning this past January the program expanded to free community dinners offered every Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Additional free meals were added on Wednesdays and Fridays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in February.

These meals provide nutritional food to many members of the community and will continue in April.  

Fifteen volunteers, most not connected with the Methodist Church, have made the expanded meal program possible.  

The Thursday and Sunday Breakfast Program from February and March will be modified beginning April 1.

Sunday breakfast will be served at 9 a.m. and the Thursday morning breakfast will be discontinued due to low attendance.   

"Offering regular free meals are important part of what our church does to help our community at a time when folks are having financial stresses," said Pastor Voris Brumfield. "If anyone knows of persons who are in need of a meal or food, please tell them about our programs. We are grateful to the anonymous donors and all the volunteers, because no one should be hungry in our county."
