Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

no questions asked. The only requirement is that you dine in, instead of taking them to go. (We have meals on Wednesdays open to all with a small fee-cheaper than fast food-and take out is available. This same meal is also available free of charge for anyone who walks in and says they'd like it. It's also available to our local university students for $1.00.)

Our church is always open during daytime hours for anyone who needs it and during inclement weather it's open constantly. We are a cooling station when it's too hot, a storm shelter for those who need it (tornadoes, country floods, severe thunderstorms), and we open during heavy snow/ice storms/extreme cold. They're members of the local ministerial alliance and more than a few members of our church are also volunteers with the local homeless organizations, trying to find a new location for another shelter.

They also offer things like underpants, storybooks, and dental kits to the local Head Start, send regular volunteers to the local food pantry, and so much more. There are some churches that give the rest a bad name. I can't think of all that many who would ever turn someone away if they needed help, even if they never had any plans of attending. Those that do get all the attention, which is quite unfortunate.
