Shalom Ministries Dining with Dignity

Shalom Ministries began as a nationwide effort within the United Methodist Church in 1992 to create effective ministries in urban settings. In 1994, a separate 501(c) 3 was created at Central United Methodist Church in Spokane that brought together the religious, business, political, and social service communities to f ind solutions to poverty and homelessness. Shalom seeks to build relationships and community amongst people who are disenfranchised. By providing a safe, loving, and accepting environment the door can be opened for healing and renewal, creating a sense of belonging to something greater than one’s self.

We serve over 80,000 meals to the homeless and marginalized in Spokane downtown offering hope and agencies to improve their life.
