Soup Kitchens

[George_Stegmeir]

I’ not a recruiter. I’m sorry if I sound proactive. I am always pushing forward but I don’t have that much push right now. One day out of the year is a big step for me. Doing much of anything, religious or not is hard.

I live in the City and know whats what about soup kitchens. You would get better information by calling the Diocesian offices of New York in Manhattan or Brooklyn whichever is more convenient for you.
Since you say you are not a phone person, your telephoning them for information would amount to a certain degree of personal sacrifice with regards to performing a charitable act.
Besides, you will get much better, more current information through human contact than through the impersonal internet. Just my opinion…So, bite the bullet and do it.

I googled “soup kitchens Brooklyn, NY” and got this long list:

brooklyn.com/modules.php?name=Food_Pantries

It is both pantries and soup kitchens.

Then I went to the New York Catholic Charities website and selected “emergency meals” and came up with another long list.

See if any of those are in your area.

Thanks for serving!

I used to attend St Francis of Assisi on 31-32nd Street Manhattan and they feed the poor as did Most Holy Name on 96th and Ansterdam Av

Sorry but other then going to my doctor in Flatlands, I know little of Brooklyn Church’s

Hope that helps

The Salvation Army and other protestant groups have achieved a large degree of hegemony is the “Soup Kitchen” sector of the charitable feeding industry here in America, largely because they were here first.

Christian charities really don’t like to step on each others toes and duplicate the same services others are already providing. Its just protocol in this field.

But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of Catholic charitable feeding programs, delivering meals to the needy, etc. that are out there in the St. Vincent de Paul societies and other apostolates.

Calling you out on that one. Catholics had already established functioning methods to help long before Salvation Army did in the US.

There is no protocol to sit back and watch others do what one needs to do and say that is okay.
