Soup for Seniors

This ongoing project works to connect seniors who appreciate an extra special meal or two in reserve, with volunteers who make the soup, and farmers with extra produce. This is essentially a service with a broad sliding scale from those who gratefully pay to those who cannot. Anyone wishing to be part of this process is encouraged to email us or call. Cooks, drivers and enthusiastic participants needed!

Soup For Seniors Kitchen #8 & Seniors Lunch

The next Soup for Seniors kitchen is scheduled for February 20th at 11:00am at the South Hall.
If you would like to volunteer to help in the kitchen, or if you’re interested in being on the receiving end of some of the great soup - give us a call.

When we have finished making the soup, we always sit down and eat together, before we begin clean up and packaging. In January we invited Seniors to join us, and it was such a treat, that we would like to repeat it this month. We’ll have a simple lunch, of soup and bread at about 1:00pm, and seniors are welcome to join us.
