Since 1975, the Monday Night Meal at St. Malachi Church in Cleveland, Ohio has served a free, home-cooked dinner to anyone in need of a good meal and friendly company. Each week, hundreds of guests enjoy a warm, sit-down dinner prepared and served by volunteers.

Dinner is served every Monday from 5:00–6:00 PM, and doors open for guests at 5:00 PM.

Behind the scenes, volunteers begin at 3:00 PM to set up the dining hall, reheat main dishes, and prepare side dishes, salads, fruit, and desserts. More volunteers arrive between 4:00 and 4:30 PM to set the tables, organize the serving line, and welcome guests. Cleanup is completed by 7:00 PM.

The main dishes are cooked at home by volunteers on a rotating schedule. Others contribute by bringing fresh fruit, salads, or bakery donations from local shops.
