March Soup Kettle Opportunity

Friday, March 3, 2023
4-7 p.m.

It’s Spaghetti Night for our friends who depend on the Soup Kettle for nourishing meals! Cornerstone is seeking noodles, sauce, garlic bread, salad, salad dressing, parmesan cheese, and desserts of cookies or brownies to serve 60. Financial support to defray costs is also welcome. Please bring your food donations to the church by early Friday afternoon on March 3rd, or bring with you to Holy Trinity.

We are blessed to serve approximately 60 people each meal, and are asking for donations to help defray these costs. 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 a 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.
