Initially, I came here because I was working and brought someone here as part of my job. This was on a Thursday, when they have grocery group, where for $5, you can get a lot of good food that will help offset your food budget. We all know how high the cost of groceries are these days. While I was with the person I was assigned to that day, I decided to also go through the line with my $5. I couldn't believe all the food I was able to get. The person I was with, I'll call her C, also told me that after those that give the $5 go through the line, they then allow others that can't pay to also go through, so no one is turned away simply because they're broke. C invited me to go on a Sunday evening and I took her up on it, I'm so glad I did, this wasn't part of my job, I did this on my own time. This was for dinner church. We came at 5:30, was given our dinner which was really good. At around 6:00 the service started and wow was it nice. Everyone is so nice and friendly. After the service we were served dessert. They do ask, if you can afford it, to donate $1, which, it's my understanding, is used to help others in need. Don't worry if you don't have $1, everyone eats. It's very informal so come as you are and enjoy the fellowship. The young ones can play some basketball or other activities after, if they wish, while the adults chat with one another. This was my 1st time at dinner church and I'll definitely be going back, as well as telling my friends about it. I want to give a huge thank you to everyone there for all they do to help the community and for making me feel so welcome. God bless...

I've met so many people some who literally live a few houses down from me through Pastor Jed's ministry. If the word ministry scares you a bit, no worries! This community center is so welcoming that you feel like your walking into a friend's home. Fun fact! I bruised my tailbone a few weeks back. Sitting was and still is a challenge. Attended the dinner church last Sunday and let me tell you! The chairs were to die for! That's the level and attention to detail Impact Old Southside...
