Ricco Gonzalez has been homeless in Spokane for five years. When closed in August, he said, "I was wondering how we were gonna eat." Friday, Shalom brought back a limited meal service in the Bloom Psychiatry parking lot, with hot soup and rice, bagged lunches, clothing and self-care kits.

Shalom's Dining with Dignity program left Central United Methodist Church on Third Avenue after the new owners, Zeal Church, declined to renew its lease. Through a partnership with City Gate, the ministry gained access to a commercial kitchen. and the Spokane Regional Health District helped Friday.

  • Fridays: morning meals at Bloom Psychiatry, 302 E. Pacific Avenue
  • Monday nights: volunteers drive meals around Spokane
  • Planned: 125 meals for Friday, 100 for Monday
  • Still looking: a permanent home with a kitchen and dining area

Shalom handed out about 200 meals Friday, up from 125 planned
