It continues to be tricky to know how many people to cater for each night with numbers fluctuating between 65, and then last night, Thursday, back up to 102 meals served.
2 sleeping bags were also given out.
Many thanks to the team from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Plymouth for serving on Plymouth Soup Run every 5 weeks.

On Thursday, it was a pleasure to talk about Plymouth Soup Run, to the KOBS group, Knocking On A Bit, at Morice Baptist Church. It was also great to meet Shirley and Brian who started the Soup Run in Plymouth, serving out of the Salvation Army in the winter of 1979 / 80. At that time the run went to 2 stops, one being the wedding cake, where we still go.
Many, many thanks for the generous donation you made towards the soup run. The money will be used to provide food for the people of Plymouth we serve when out on the Run.

A Wednesday night on Plymouth Soup Run can only mean one thing, a team from Mutley Baptist Church will be out on the run. Last night the team served 89 meals and gave out 4 sleeping bags and some clothing items. Ladies jumpers and socks are needed if anyone can help.
It was a calm good natured night. With the change in weather, the number of people teams are currently seeing seems to be slightly less now.
As every night people rough sleeping were encouraged to go to Shekinah in the morning and engage with services .
Many thanks to Mutley Baptist church for supporting Plymouth Soup Run and serving the community 52 weeks of the year.

On Tuesday the team from St Matts Plymouth had a smaller prep team so planned a simpler menu with steak slices and beans, or pizza with jacket potato. There were 3 choices of sandwiches. Also yoghurt from FareShare South West which was popular.
It was a much quieter night with 63 meals served including a few doubles.At the end of the evening the remaining food wa taken to George House BCHA.
3 sleeping bags were given out.
Many thanks to everyone who helped both front and back of house.

On Monday Dockyard’s friends prepared the food with Steph and Sammy while the “individuals” team served out on Plymouth Soup Run with Alex, Gabby and Ben.
As always on a Monday, StreetVet Plymouth, volunteers were out too. 105 people were served with 2 sleeping bags given out.
Many thanks to everyone who helped and to Hope Baptist Church for co ordinating the Run every Monday.

On Sunday the team from St Paul’s Church Efford were joined by the flu vaccination team .
It was a busy night at all of the stops with a lot of hungry, cold folk needing a lot of support.
About 10 sleeping bags were given out and a lot of warm clothing.
There were about 22 people at Kings Road, with plenty of food left but then a row ensued between 2 people. It got very nasty and, as punches were thrown, so the decision was taken to leave.
Everyone at this stop had a bag of food but half didn't get hot food or drinks because the team had to leave quickly.
Sadly the behaviour of 2 people impacted on the other people attending the stop.
The safety of all our volunteers is of paramount importance.
All the spare food was taken to George House BCHA.
Many thanks to everybody who helped on Sunday evening, preparing the food, serving the food, clearing up and to the outreach vaccination team who will be out again on Sunday 8th November and Sunday 22nd November.

It was an eerily quiet first stop. The volunteers from Plymouth Methodist Central Hall and St Peter & the Holy Apostles, Plymouth started serving at 8:30pm to avoid people queuing in the wind and rain and served from inside the church. The team stayed at the first stop until 9.20 p.m. but the number of service users was low. Whilst it was good people kept out of the bad weather there was concern some may have been hungry.
59 people were served and as the team had catered for 100 + everyone at the last 2 stops was given 2 bags each.
The remaining food was taken to George House BCHA.
2 sleeping bags, clothes, especially coats, gloves, socks and jackets were given out.Many people were very cold and wet.
1 of the team gave his own coat away to help someone. The recipient was so grateful and hugs abounded.
Many thanks to the ALL the team on another very stormy night.

Saturday brought some really hostile weather for our morning session at Shekinah. Despite that, 25 people who are rough sleeping or in emergency accommodation walked to the centre and came in for breakfast. Several had a shower and replaced wet with dry clothing. The opportunity to relax inside for a couple of hours before facing the weather again was clearly welcome. And we had the pleasure of some fine guitar playing in the background. As well as mostly familiar faces, we saw some new ones including two vulnerable young people whom we did our best to connect with support. Thanks to Gavin leading in the kitchen, and to our other volunteers and colleagues from Path Devon.
