October is a month to fight hunger as the Humboldt Community Soup Kitchen teams up with A&W restaurant in Humboldt for a “Give what you ‘can’” event.
Kari Cenciosi of the Soup Kitchen shares that the need is great. She says the Soup Kitchen currently provides regular meals for:
-
37 children
-
35 seniors
-
18 individuals with mental or physical challenges
-
80 adults
-
13 single parents
-
5 two parent families.
The cost of food is on the rise, notes the group. Each meal now costs $8, meaning four meals for a family of three during the month is $96.
Cash donations can be left at the counter at A&W Humboldt with all proceeds going to the Humboldt Community Soup Kitchen.
