Meal at Noon

Meal at Noon is a free lunch program (soup kitchen). We operate out of space provided by the Second Baptist Church, 93 Liberty Street in Long Branch. Meal at Noon was founded by Louis and Barbara Armour of Long Branch in 1997. We have been serving hot meals on Saturdays (Noon to 1pm) and bag lunches on Wednesdays (11am to Noon) ever since. We serve approximately 7,000 free meals a year. We are an all volunteer program. No one is paid. Much of our food comes from the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The rest we buy. We also buy our paper goods, utensils and cleaning supplies. We rely on donations to operate. We are an IRS approved 501(c) (3) charitable organization.
