Blessed Hope Soup Kitchen Phillipsburg, NJ 08865 908.454.5070	Details: We are the first hot-meal program in Warren County, New Jersey. Since 1986, our trained volunteers continue to serve hot meals to the underprivileged men, women and children in our surrounding communities. The volunteers come from our congregation as well as our community. Our mission is simple - to find a need and fill it. Although we have built this outreach on a foundation of hot meals, we continue to augment our services. Once a month, we provide our grounds to the volunteers of Mother's Cupboard who truck in, set up and give away clothing and household items. We prepare special Sunday dinners during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. At Christmas, with the help of generous donors, we provide toys, gifts and food to needy families. In the past, as equipment and talent arrived, we were able to offer computer training and remedial reading. Through the Warren County Health Bureau, NORWESCAP and our own Safely-Serve Certification program, we provide a safe, clean environment to the public. We thank all our donors - large and small, frequent and occasional, anonymous and named - for their generous contributions of money, food, equipment, supplies and talent to this much-needed effort. They have made a huge difference in people's lives.
