FEEDING THE HUNGRY
FOOD SERVICES
TRM Ministries is responsible for planning, preparing, and serving hot meals to our shelter guests seven days a week. On average, we provide more than 16,900 meals each month. The meals served are made possible primarily through generous food donations from individuals, businesses, and community partners.
We understand that many individuals and families are facing difficult circumstances. At TRM Ministries, we are committed to caring for our community by providing nutritious meals, compassionate support, and encouragement to those in need. Meal distributions are available through our food window, located inside Shinkle-Stutzman Park at the rear of the main shelter, offering a welcoming place where individuals can receive assistance and hope.
TRM serves a free daily community dinner, at Shinkle-Stutzman Park.
Monday–Friday
Community Dinner: 6:00–6:30 p.m.
Saturday–Sunday
Community Dinner: 5:00–5:30 p.m.
Meals are served at Shinkle-Stutzman Park, on the east side of the Main Shelter (600 N Kansas Ave).

A MESSAGE FROM OUR KITCHEN
This is Chef Kristina! Not only was she a past resident of TRM, she is now currently a Sous Chef at TRM. One of her many duties is managing our salad bar.
Alongside the many staples that have blessed the food services department at TRM, we've changed how we feed people in mind, body and spirit by offering them healthy options too.
We are so thankful for the generosity that has allowed us to offer healthy options for so many of our guests! If you would like to contribute to healthy food choices for our guests, please see our needs list.
