About Us

In the Gospels, Jesus feeds thousands of people using only five loaves and two fishes. This story has inspired the name of this exciting ministry: Five & Two: A Street Food Ministry of Arlington Heights United Methodist Church. This ministry feeds not only the physical needs of the hungry in our community, but also provides a vehicle to share the Gospel with those who hunger spiritually.

We have partnered with community leaders to address the needs of our neigbhors as we reach out to offer a warm and healthy meal and a chance to connect with others in a real and meaningful way.

Rev. Allen Lutes is heading this ministry. He was a chef for over a decade and has combined his passion for food and ministry with the realization of the Five & Two Food Truck.
