What good work we have done through Circle of Friends! For almost 30 years, we have provided our downtown neighbors with meals on Saturday and Sunday nights. We have much to be proud of!
Now it is time to close this chapter of our good work in God’s name. As feeding and other services have moved to the Hazel’s House of Hope location, fewer and fewer persons are using Circle of Friends. It has become more difficult to find groups to provide meals, and one of our four sites, the Lutheran Campus Chapel, recently left the Circle.
Our mission to downtown feeding has come to an end. The last Circle of Friends meals will be served March 14–15, 2026.
If you would like to continue with this ministry in a new form, you can contact Hazel’s House of Hope or the Bartlett House on West Run Road.
