Emma Norton recently honored their long-standing relationship with the Hamline United Methodist Church with the 2020 Champion Award at their virtual Opening Doors Gala last month.<\/p>\n

The Hamline Church Dining Hall, celebrating their 123rd year, is the oldest food concession at the Minnesota State Fair and is one of only two church dining halls still in operation. Located two blocks from the Dan Patch entrance, the Hamline Dining Hall was started by a group of church women in 1897 and is now run by more than 250 volunteers throughout the twelve days of the fair who put in more than 3,000 hours serving around 20,000 meals each year.<\/p>\n

Each year a part Hamline Church\u2019s Dining Hall proceeds are used to support local non-profit partners. Rev. Mariah Tollgaard, Lead Pastor of Hamline Church said, \u201cEven though the MN State Fair isn\u2019t being held this year, we want to make sure that we fulfill our commitment to support the vital work of Emma Norton Services and The Sheridan Story especially as the need for their services have increased amidst the pandemic. The Taste of Hamline is an opportunity to show love to our neighbors and a way to get a taste of some of the best state fair food!\u201d<\/p>\n
