Food Services
Cherry Street serves men, women, and children every day to help meet their most basic need of eating a balanced meal. Meals are served to the public at two locations,
the Madison Food Service and Community Center at
1919 W. Madison Ave., and the Good Samaritan
Outreach Center at 1108 Broadway St. In 2008 Cherry Street served 240,300 meals to men, women, and children, this is a 51% increase from 2006.. We receive food donations from individuals, churches, and corporations. Every year hundreds of volunteers help prepare and serve meals, along with cleaning up and helping with inventory.
