April Soup Kettle Opportunity

Friday, April 1, 2022
4-7 p.m.

Friday April 1st is our next Soup Kettle service day, no fooling! We are going to prepare an Easter preview dinner of ham, mashed potatoes, and sides. We are asking for donations of dinner rolls, cookies, Brownies, or bar cookies to feed 50 people. We would also welcome some extra hands to help cook, serve, and clean up from 4 pm—7 pm. Come for part or all of the time and share God’s love with our community in need. As one guest recently said, “It is always a blessing to be in God’s house!”

Cornerstone hosts the Soup Kettle at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on the first Friday of every month. (Holy Trinity Lutheran Church is located at 357 Division Street, Elgin, IL 60120.)

Host responsibilities include setting up, cooking, greeting guests, serving food, and cleaning up. Volunteers can work either a full-shift (4 p.m.-7 p.m.) or partial-shift (just to help cook, for example), and can choose to stay in the kitchen behind the scenes if COVID makes interacting with folks uncomfortable. Everyone is required to wear a mask while in the building.

Contact Tish Calhamer (847-525-3580 or calhamer@yahoo.com) or Gale Vician (847-609-0558 or vicianova@comcast.net) if you can help, or contact the church office at office@umc-cornerstone.org.

The Elgin Soup Kettle offers breakfast six days a week and dinner every night at different local churches. These free home-cooked meals are available to anyone in need.
