August Soup Kettle Opportunity

Friday, August 5, 2022
4-7 p.m.

Friday, August 5th is our next Soup Kettle service day. This month we will be preparing mostaccioli. Extras we need your help with: bags of salad, salad dressing, ready-made garlic bread, and various salad toppings. Desserts needed are cake, cookies, and brownies.

We are asking for donations to help defray these costs to feed 50 people. We would also welcome 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.

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.
