Annual “Feast for the Children” at First United Methodist Church

This year’s annual Feast for the Children has a new look. There was talk of canceling the 11th year of the annual luncheon, due to Covid restrictions, until Via Maestra 42 owner and sponsor Renato Moiso stepped up and insisted “the Feast must go on”. So the host church, First United Methodist, will bag the 3-course Italian meal “to-go” and place bags into cars as they drive through the church parking lot. Over the years, beneficiaries of 100% of the ticket proceeds (all food and supplies costs are covered by Via Maestra 42 and local vendors) have ranged from Grace Children’s Hospital in Haiti, to Paradise Camp Fire victims, to our own Unity Shoppe, which was chosen once again as this year’s recipient due to the impact of the pandemic on local children and families.

To order and reserve a pickup time for the $25 3-course Italian meal, which includes choice of veggie or meat lasagna, mixed greens, ciabatta bread, and dessert, visit the event’s web page https://www.feastforthechildren.com or call the church office M-F 9am to 1pm at (805)963-3579
