Hope on Wheels

During the school year, Aldersgate teams up with Manna House to use their food truck to provide dinners for families. We set up at Weatherly Elementary (usually) on the first Monday of the month. You can eat there or take the food with you. Join us for food or come help us prepare and/or pass out the food to our neighbors.
