One year ago, this was a dream of ours: fresh produce being a part of our daily meals. While we were receiving some fresh food items from local grocery stores, it would usually wind up being given out for the food pantry. And though it was nice for families to have fresh produce to take home with them, our soup kitchen guests were not enjoying the benefits of a healthier diet.
Now it's a different story. Nearly every day there is either a salad or fresh fruit. Often the soups are made from scratch. We often joke about being a five-star soup kitchen (see the current newsletter). But each day, with the help of our food service manager, Barry, we're getting closer to making that a reality.
