Our project is designed to replace aging kitchen appliances, enabling us to increase our efficiency and continue to provide over 60,000 amazing meals a year. For over 60 years, Menucha has touched hearts, changed lives, and been a focal point for nurturing, healing, growth, and enrichment. We specialize in offering guests the gift of contentment - the comfort of needs well met and the freedom to engage in purposeful work. We define purposeful work as work for which people have a passionate intention, but daily demands may keep us from. Menucha is a chance to return to what matters.
Menucha is celebrating its 60th anniversary as a retreat and conference center this year. Our focal point lodge, Wright Hall, is an 83 year old country estate. It currently houses our community dining room, kitchen, and housekeeping services, all vital aspects of our ministry of hospitality. An ecumenical outreach mission, we provide space for (and leadership as needed) in the areas of: community-building, renewal and reflection, continuing education, pilgrimage, advancement of personal and organizational possibilities, cultural and artistic creation, discernment, recreation and enjoyment. Laughter...shouts of encouragement...soaring moments of epiphany...through God's grace, this happens all in a day's work. Rhythms of focused endeavor and creative exchange, refreshment of perception, spiritual nutrition; these are some of the benchmarks by which a stay at Menucha may be measured.
Menucha has bed spaces and food service for 160 guests. We also have 34 additional bed spaces in the Barn, where guests may prepare their own food. Family-style meals are served three times a day in Wright Hall. Fresh-baked bread and homemade jam from local berries are part of the Menucha kitchen tradition.
