every day!
Share a FREE meal. Open to all
- Wednesdays 5:30 - 6:30pm
Meals are now served To-Go only. We average about 400 meals shared every week! The line goes through the portico at the front of our building at 301 S National. In Summer when it's light out later, we sometimes use the alley behind the church. Look for the sign to mark the entrance we are using that week.
There is no cost or obligation, we just ask a name and how many meals you can use that day.
Please be sure not to block our neighbors driveways while waiting. Thanks for your patience!
Would you like to help provide meals in Fort Scott - one crucial way to do that is by donating funds. Click the link to go to First UMC's Tithe.ly page and designate your give for Feeding Families.
Thank You!
With the help of many local church and community partners, we have served over 100,000 meals since 2011 and are now regularly serving 400 meals per week... in His Name.

You can help!
Volunteers to help prepare and serve are always needed. You can contact the church office at (620) 223-1950 or use the contact form below to be put in touch with a monthly coordinator (or weekly partner team).
We also have an ongoing need for folks to bake simple cakes or other deserts and to drop off plastic store bags to package the meals in - great way to reuse them!
