Community Soup Bowl

We assisted with a soup kitchen at the East Tuscaloosa Community Soup Bowl this weekend.  This two-day event of serving food to the needy in Tuscaloosa was made possible using donations and volunteers from Holy Spirit Parish.  Including the purchasing and preparation activities Friday, plus the cooking, serving, and clean-up yesterday and today, there were about 60 volunteers participating at some point this weekend.   During the two-hours we were open for lunch Saturday, 248 plates of  chicken and gravy over rice, string beans, cole slaw, watermelon, pears, bread, and brownies along with sweet tea or water were served.  Today, we served 231 plates of hash brown casserole, biscuits, grits, cornbread dressing, peaches, danish and doughnuts along with orange juice, milk, sweet tea, or water.  The community was very appreciative to have us there.  The parish plans to do this again in February.  Additional pictures from the event can be viewed by reading on.
