Volunteer Spotlight Soup Kitchen

​“All of my adult life I have now and again volunteered in soup kitchens whether in New Jersey, New York, or here in Chicago. My faith and the words from the Gospel of Matthew 25: 23 “I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me” have inspired me. It is a blessing to help provide a meal for the guest and an additional blessing to receive their appreciation and gratitude for our efforts. I fell in line with a fantastic group of volunteers, it is a shared community experience as we work hand-in-hand to make the Soup Kitchen happen. Pope Francis wrote, “When you pray for the poor and hungry, you feed them and that's how prayer works.”
