Today in Rotary we heard from Soup on Saturdays

Soup on Saturdays was born from a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves a warm meal, to be seen, and to be loved.

What began during COVID as two people stepping in when a local soup kitchen shut down has grown into a six-year-strong community effort serving Moses Lake every single Saturday. Led by Trinette and an all-volunteer team, Soup on Saturdays now includes 18–21 volunteers—chefs, servers, bakers, and support helpers—who give their time freely. No one is paid. This work is fueled entirely by compassion and commitment.

Each week, volunteers prepare and serve hot meals with dignity and care. What started as soup, a roll, and dessert has grown into full, thoughtfully prepared dishes—everything from hearty stews to chicken cacciatore—thanks to professional and retired chefs who simply love to cook. In the winter, guests are also welcomed with hot cocoa, coffee, and cider.

Over time, Soup on Saturdays has become much more than food. Guests receive socks, hygiene kits, clothing, and during the holidays, hats, gloves, and gifts for families and children. Some meals are packaged to go for single parents and families struggling to make ends meet. Many of the people served are local—neighbors from Moses Lake and Grant County—each with a unique story that deserves understanding, not judgment.

Rain, snow, or shine, the team shows up. As operations shifted outdoors, the need for shelter and warmth led to the addition of a trailer to better serve guests and protect volunteers from the elements—another example of adapting to meet real needs.

Soup on Saturdays is proof that small, consistent acts of kindness can ripple outward, strengthening an entire community—one meal, one conversation, one Saturday at a time.

EPHRATA — Local resident Bonnie Helvey had an idea for the City of Ephrata's dog park, and it ended up in a high school classroom.
