[The Alternative Press] Christine’s Kitchen is a program that serves free hot lunches weekly at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church on Main Street in West Orange.

Each Saturday, 75 to 100 people wrap around the corner of Guild Hall to have an opportunity to eat a free, hot lunch. Healthy and balanced lunches include a choice of at least two entrees, vegetables, a side salad, fruit, bread, and desserts. Participants are given containers to take home any remaining food.

Rotating churches, synagogues, or service organizations provide food and staffing for Christine's Kitchen. Members of Holy Trinity are present to help supervise the luncheon and offer support.  It's not uncommon for West Orange residents to drop off food and supplies or stop in to volunteer with the visiting group.
