Every Wednesday morning, 5 – 8 volunteer ladies meet in the basement of the Ohio Street United Methodist Church and begin making the “soup of the day.” The soup is delivered to area residents so they will have a hot meal that day and also a little extra for dinner that evening.
Delivery the first week was 10 people and the count this week was approximately 50 deliveries. The need for volunteers has grown and they are seeking individuals who would be able to donate approximately 2 hours each Wednesday. Volunteers and cooks meet each Wednesday for everyone to share a bowl of soup before it’s delivered. Vehicles are loaded by approximately 11:30 and each volunteer has their delivery list with approximately 4 stops.
While on the surface it may seem they are only delivering soup, but in reality they are delivering a human touch, a helping hand and a smile to someone who needs it.
If you are interested in volunteering to deliver on Wednesday or make a contribution, call the Ohio Street United Methodist Church at 660-679-4384.
