Emmanuel Dining Room

St. Catherine provides Shepherd's Pies on the 28th of each month at the Emmanuel Dining Room West at 121 N. Jackson Street, Wilmington, DE 19805.  The Emmanuel Dining Room facilities in the area are served by volunteers from local churches in an ecumenical effort to provide hot meals for the needy.  These supplemental meals are not just for the homeless but also those with low incomes, and no one is ever turned away.  The Ministry of Caring established the first Emmanuel Dining Room in November of 1979.  Today the Ministry of Caring operates three locations: one on the west side of Wilmington at 121 North Jackson Street, one on the east side of Wilmington at 226 North Walnut Street, and one in New Castle at 500 Rogers Road.
