Food Services
Cherry Street serves men and women every day to help meet their most basic need of eating a balanced meal. Meals are served 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 2006 Cherry Street served 158,773 meals to men, women, and children. We receive food donations from individuals, churches, and corporations. Every year hundreds of volunteers help prepare, serve, and clean up meals.

Holidays are a special time here at Cherry Street. We serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, including holidays. Holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter are some of our busiest times of the year. Please remember us and those who are in need of your help during these times.
