CC4C Volunteers at St Joseph’s Soup Kitchen

When: Saturday Dec 3^rd

Where: St Joseph’s Soup Kitchen

On a bright Saturday morning, City Chicks 4 Charity ventured out to Greenwich Village to spread a little holiday cheer. With our aprons and rubber gloves on, we chopped onions for the meatballs, buttered bread, and cut cakes for dessert. We spent the morning cooking and preparing a hearty meal of baked ziti and meatballs, Notre Dame coleslaw, and donated pies. When the time came to open the doors, the kitchen smelled of delicious food. City Chicks 4 Charity and the other volunteers served this amazing lunch to over 400 people.

The Soup Kitchen has been operating in Casserly Hall every Saturday for about 20 years. Meals are always prepared with the help of an army of volunteers from different churches and faiths working under the supervision of one of their rotating head chefs. St Joseph’s strives for nutritionally balanced, hearty meals and whenever possible, include fresh vegetables and salads. The guests range from fixed-income local residents and the elderly, to street people who are truly suffering. All are welcome, and the food is 100% free.
