EATS:
Meals served to our neighbors Monday – Friday 11am – 12 pm. The staff prepares the meals and volunteers for area churches SERVE each guest. No buffet lines. The meals are nutritious and the environment is peaceful.
LEARNS:
Friendship Place and Freedom Readers have partnered together for the Georgetown Learns program. This program aims to improve reading skills through one-to-one literacy tutoring sessions for kindergarten through 5th grade children in Georgetown. Tutoring sessions include free books for home libraries, Charlie Cart Cooking Lessons, and a take home meal – all in an inspiring, high-energy environment. Join us as we make learning more fun, engaging and accessible for everyone.
PRAYS:
A few times a year we invite our EATS guests to receive prayer. It is a simply a time of corporate prayer, no counseling and no proselytizing. it is one thing to share a meal with a stranger, it is another thing to share your prayers with a stranger. Volunteers and guests alike look forward to these gatherings. Everyone leaves uplifted and encouraged. Simply put, new relationships are created and our community grows stronger.
GEORGETOWN LEARNS, our new initiative, is an afterschool program with Freedom Readers where volunteers work with elementary age children to achieve their academic goals in reading.

We’d be honored to have you share in the joys, struggles and transformations of Georgetown’s most vulnerable souls.
