Hartford Community Lunch - St Aidan’s hosts a monthly free meal program for those in any kind of need in the Hartford area. The needs aren’t just financial. Consider those who live alone, those who have lost a spouse and yearn for companionship, those who no longer cook for themselves, those who can’t afford to go out for a meal. In Matthew’s gospel we are called to visit the sick, to give drink to the thirsty, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to welcome the stranger. Many of these ministries are already part of St. Aidan’s outreach to the community, and now we have another opportunity to feed the hungry. We work in conjunction with other churches each month, including St. Kilian’s and Redeemer Lutheran, and 
need about 2 or 3 volunteers per month. We feed people the last Saturday of each month  between 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM. For more details on how you can become involved, please see Larry Thomas.

• One Saturday a month
