Appalachian Trail Hiker Meal Ministry

Appalachian Trail Hiker Meals

Each year, an estimated 3 million people spend time on the 2,180 mile footpath that is the Appalachian Trail. Approximately 2,000 of those hikers attempt to thru-hike, hiking the entire trail in one season. June and July is when the number of hikers passing through Duncannon is the highest. Each Wednesday we provide a free meal to them.

All hikers and their furry friends are welcome to stop by our church between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm to enjoy free food and great company! The menu for the evening includes (gluten free is also available):
~ Spaghetti & Meatballs
~ Tossed Salad
~ Garlic Bread
~ Dessert
~ Water

The 2025 Hiker Season Has Come to a Close

CLC began another year of our hiker meal ministry on May 14. July 16 was the last meal for the season. Everyone in attendance on the 16th was honored to hear a piano solo by one of the hikers. Click on the picture below to hear the music.

Hikers passing through Duncannon on Wednesday nights are welcome to stop by the church and enjoy a free spaghetti dinner. It is also a time of fellowship with other hikers as well as with our volunteers.

Meals will be served through Wednesday, July 16 from 5:00 – 7:00 in the church fellowship hall.
