Lake Merritt United Methodist Church (LMUMC) operates food programs that serve individuals and families living near the church and all over Alameda County. LMUMC operates a monthly food distribution of shelf stable and fresh produce and food is available in between upon request. Hot meals and sandwich lunches are prepared and distribute twice each week to the housed and unhoused near the church as well as through its partners. Funding will support Lake Merritt United Methodist Church in purchasing additional refrigeration and freezer capacity to allow them to increase the number of visitors they serve in their Lake Lunches program as well as their Food Pantry distribution. The funds will also help LMUMC purchase additional hot/cold boxes to store food in.
