Student Meals

Providing meals to college students is an important, integral part of our ministry. During the ASU Fall and Spring Semesters,
we provide Sunday lunch and Wednesday dinner to students as well as stocking a food pantry in our Campus Center. We proudly do this because:

  • More than one-third of ASU college students go hungry each month.

  • Sharing meals allows college students to get to know each other and builds community.
  • You will enjoy meeting our insightful, clever, and warmhearted students!
  • Students enjoy interacting and conversing with the people who provide the meals.

Sign-up sheets to provide the meals are posted on the moving bulletin board, or you can contact the church office: info@ulctempe.org or 480-967-3543. If you aren’t available to cook this spring semester, monetary donations are also welcome and appreciated. Thank you in advance for your kind support!

If you are considering cooking a student meal for the first time or just want more info about the process, feel free to contact Katherine Stevens (katherinemstevens@yahoo.com) or Greg Febock (lcmassociate@gmail.com). For specific instructions and tips on how to best prepare a student meal, you can also visit the “Student Meals Ministry” link under the “Connect” tab on this website.
