Our dinner groups at Hoboken Grace are all about building community. A half-dozen groups took that to heart last week by preparing more than 500 meals for local students rehearsing for opening night of Shrek The Musical.

For four nights, the dinner groups provided more than 150 plates to the hungry cast and crew of elementary, middle and high school students from the city’s public schools. They set up a full taco bar, assembled scores of sandwiches and baked trays and trays of ziti.

The drama club was so grateful that Hoboken Grace got a special shout-out during the live production at Hoboken High School over the weekend! That’s the magic of dinner groups: we were able to impact hundreds of students and their families across Hoboken and build more relationships within our community.
