Soup Kitchen: Ways to Help!

Updated information for Soup Kitchen Volunteers.

• The Soup Kitchen is in need of someone with grant writing experience. If you would like to help the soup kitchen in this way, please let Donnie Couch know. Email Donnie now.
• Allen Corley (in-charge of construction) is looking to do some things this Saturday on the building (Feb. 7) and could use some volunteers. I know it's earlier than Feb. 14 and we'll still be working our S.O.S. job at the Soup Kitchen on Feb. 14, but if you are available to help this Saturday, please e-mail Donnie.
• If you are interested in helping with the Soup Kitchen renovation, but can't do physical labor work, perhaps you would consider helping to provide a lunch* for those working during the week. C. Ann Beard is coordinating the lunches. Email C. Ann or call: 317-681-7396.
  

*because the number of volunteers fluctuates daily, you are asked to check in with Donnie Couch (317-462-9900, Soup Kitchen #) or Allen Corely (317-627-6404) to confirm the number of people and to see if they need drinks and plates for that specific day.
