St. Matthew Trinity Lutheran Church | Hoboken, NJ

A WARM MEAL,
HOSPITALITY & COMMUNITY

Lunchtime Ministry provides an oasis for those who need a nourishing meal and a place to sit with friends.

What is
Lunchtime Ministry?

Lunchtime Ministry (LTM) was started in the 1970’s by the people of St. Matthew Trinity to provide a warm meal, hospitality, and community for our neighbors who are homeless, marginally housed, or just hungry.

The mission is to provide our Hoboken neighbors with a warm meal, a compassionate community, and a peaceful place to spend the morning. We strive to be a place where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

When

can you join

our table?

Four days a week, Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, St. Matthew Trinity’s parish hall becomes an oasis for those who need a nourishing meal and a place to sit with friends.

Supported by donations and volunteers, Lunchtime Ministry provides food and welcome to 80-100 guests each day we are open.

We welcome you too!

Where

does the food come from?

LTM receives donations from generous Hoboken restaurants and stores, including Bagels on the Hudson, Johnny Pepperoni, Vito's Deli, Chick-fil-A, Choc O Pain, Whole Foods Weehawken and Paris Baguette; as well as generous individuals throughout the community.
