November 14 Community Meal Details
When: Saturday, November 14, 2026
Time: Noon–3 p.m.
Where: Eden Café, 1034 Bridge St NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504
Cost: Free
Gumbo, Pumpkin Pie, and Good Company
We’ll be serving free, authentic gumbo alongside other food, refreshments, and desserts—including a fall favorite: good old-fashioned pumpkin pie.
There will be football and games, too. Bring a friend, come with family, or stop in on your own. You don’t need a special occasion to sit down, share a meal, and spend some time with your neighbors.
Take a Break From the Holiday Rush
This time of year can come with a lot of planning. Who’s hosting? What’s on the menu? When will you find time to cook, clean, and get everything ready?
For this afternoon, let us take care of the food.
Our November community meal is a chance to slow down before the holiday season gets busy. Stay for a conversation, enjoy something warm, and give yourself a little room to rest.
At Eden Café, we want our space to be somewhere people feel comfortable coming together. This meal is a simple way to make that happen.
For Those Who’d Like to Help
We’ve had people ask if they could donate to help with the lunch, and that kindness means a lot to us. 🤎
We’re covering the meal no matter what, but if you feel called to contribute,
We’ll gratefully welcome your support. Giving is completely optional—everyone is welcome at our table, whether or not they donate.
