Breakfast is at the Vineyard
For people without the means to provide food for themselves, a complimentary hot breakfast is offered at the Vineyard every Monday through Saturday (except on major holidays when another community organization may offer a special meal).
In addition to satisfying physical hunger, our leaders interact with guests on an emotional and spiritual level. We aspire to connect each person to the Father’s heart and see lives transformed. After all, with God, there is always hope for positive change and a brighter future.
