| Soup Kitchen Launches 'Kitchen
The latest in a sequence of challenges is complying with Board of Health regulations. Now, numerous others have joined them in helping to fight hunger in the community. After brainstorming, the concept of the "Kitchen to Kitchen" program was born and Weinstein has recruited numerous local restaurants and caterers to provide food for the Soup Kitchen on an ongoing basis. "Weinstein and the 'Kitchen to Kitchen' program have been a lifesaver to the Soup Kitchen -- it has assisted us to continue to keep our doors open, 365 days a year. Today the dining area still offers a safe haven for the homeless and mentally ill, but it is also filled with entire families, and the working poor each day. Weinstein, former owner of The Park Savoy, has been a lifesaver to the Community Soup Kitchen and Outreach Center. "We do it because community outreach makes the soul feel good," said Noelle Ifshin, Vice President of Operations of Ome Caterers. It is a very simple, natural and important partnership," Weinstein said. The Soup Kitchen is more than a safety net - it is a large, close-knit family. The new program is innovative and at the same time helps the Community Soup Kitchen to continue to fulfill its mission of feeding and helping our many neighbors in need. "The sharing of food is a custom that has been practiced throughout the ages. As the Soup Kitchen population has grown and changed they have kept pace by adding an Outreach Center which assists guests with accessing community resources, services, and educational programs. |
