Dear St. Leo’s Soup Kitchen Volunteers,
Hello and Happy New Year to everyone supporting St. Leo’s Soup Kitchen. It has been a long journey to build the new kitchen, get the lunch meal service in place, and now, to serve lunch at our new location. If you haven’t heard, St. Leo’s Soup Kitchen is now located at The Center for the Works of Mercy, 8642 Woodward Ave., Detroit 48202.
The new St. Leo’s kitchen opened on November 15, 2022. We started serving hot lunches on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s, and Thursday’s. To this end, we have a few volunteers that help on these days, but not enough to serve efficiently. We need more volunteers during weekdays to help prepare and serve the hot meals. So this is a call for help ….. A CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO PREPARE AND SERVE LUNCH DURING WEEKDAYS FROM 9:00 AM TO 1:30 PM.
I know that most of you and your volunteers prepared meals on Saturday’s but at this time, WE ARE NOT PREPARED TO RESTART SATURDAY LUNCH SERVICE YET. If any of your volunteers are available and would be willing to help on any weekday, we would welcome their participation. Because we are at a new location, we need to make our presence known through weekday lunch service …… and we need more volunteers on weekdays, especially on Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s to do so. (Thursday’s and Friday’s also but not as much)
So please respond to this call for volunteers.
Pass the word along to anyone willing to help during weekdays. You can reply to this email or call me at: (586) 242-4961.
You can also visit the St. Leo's website at: https://www.stleosoupkitchendetroit.org/ for information and future updates.
God Bless you for your dedication to St. Leo’s Soup Kitchen,
