Meals

We are happy to provide free breakfast or dinner to any community members with a meal ticket.

Males may obtain meal tickets by calling (717) 358-2026; females may call (717) 358-2054. Meal tickets are also distributed at the Community Homeless Outreach Center or the Winter Shelter at local churches.

As a breakfast or dinner guest, we invite you to attend the Water Street Mission's evening chapel service, held 365 days a year, at 7:30 p.m. in Hayes Hall. Different churches from the community conduct these services, so worship styles vary day to day.

Grocery Assistance through Water Street Mission

Out of the abundance of what has been donated to Water Street Mission, we offer weekly grocery assistance for anyone living in their own homes. Individuals may participate in both of the weekly bread and pasty distributions, but we ask that each household only partakes of one weekly food distribution. Simply come during the available hours, and show photo identification when necessary. Please be patient as there is usually a line of people waiting.
