No person should be hungry and none are turned away who seek emergency aid for food. The House of Peace also provides direct help to guests needing support with family issues.At St. Ben's Community Meal site serves a hot, home-made dinner six nights a week, Sunday to Friday, 5:15 – 6:30 pm. Over 90,000 meals are served each year. All are welcome and are considered family in a community that shares a warm, safe environment.
