WHO WE ARE
Serving Carver County with kindness and care, one meal at a time. Our free Monday night takeout meals are open to all — no sign-up needed.
The Monday Night Meal began in 2009 with a commitment to providing free, homemade, nutritious meals alongside fellowship and community connection.
Inspired by the servant spirit of Jesus, this initiative was first launched by a Waconia organization at the Chaska Moravian Church. As the need grew, the program expanded to St. John’s Lutheran Church in Chaska.Today, Monday Night Meal serves around 8,000 individuals and families each year, offering complete, to-go meals crafted with care and devotion.
