October 16th 2011 - World Food Day
This year we matched customer donations from the 14-16th for the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen. Together we were able to give $435 to Soup Kitchen co-ordinator. The soup kitchen has one paid coordinator and then operates solely on volunteers. They have a small budget but rely on food donations to feed a minimum of 80 people a hot lunch 5 days a week. They sometimes open their doors at night when shelters are full and try to provide a bowl of soup for dinner on those occassions. As a business we contribute on a weekly basis to the soup kitchen by giving culled produce, day old sandwiches, bread, & milks. It feels good to give the kitchen the opportunity to stock up on good quality food that will be put to good use. The donation is in the form of a Healthyway credit for grocery or produce at a wholesale cost. Thank you to everyone who donated & thank you to the volunteers who give of themselves.
