Once a month, St. Ben's coordinates, sponsors, and serves a dinner at Churches United in Ministry (the second Tuesday each month).
In May, we are serving on May 18 due to the First Communion Dinner on May 11.
Please call the office if you would like to coordinate, donate food, or volunteer to cook and/or serve one month. We would love to have you, your family, or your parish group help serve the needy of Duluth.
