The event will feature free hot meals from the food truck vendor District Bites. Meals are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and no registration is required.
The initiative began as an extension of the churchâs 21-day period of fasting and prayerâa time when members focus on spiritual renewal and service. Motivated by faith and a commitment to meet tangible needs in the community, the program launched with support from church members who helped bring in a professional chef and food truck to serve hot meals directly to neighbors in need.
Over the years, the Easter event has grown into a broader outreach effort, including Thanksgiving grocery and turkey giveaways, serving hundreds of families annually. âWhat began as a simple meal distribution has become one of our most impactful programs,â said Nana A. Rokosz of Winners Church.
Past events have left a lasting impression on both recipients and volunteers. One single mother shared that the groceries she received during the churchâs Thanksgiving event allowed her to afford Christmas gifts for her children. Another memorable story came from a former recipient who returned to volunteer, wanting to give back after being helped in a time of need.
The church partners with local shelters, nonprofit organizations, and low-income housing communities to ensure support reaches those most in need. It also relies on referrals from congregation members and distributes fliers in neighborhoods.
Community members and local businesses are encouraged to participate through volunteer work, food donations, sponsorships, or financial contributions. âEvery form of supportâbig or smallâhelps us extend our reach,â said Rokosz.
The church acknowledges logistical challenges in executing large-scale food distributions but credits the dedication of its members and growing partnerships for its continued success.
The public is invited to enjoy a warm meal, fellowship, and community love as part of this Easter celebration.
