Description:
In verse 35 of the Gospel according to Matthew, it states, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. . .†The burden to feed the hungry fell on Missionary Roslyn Wright. On Wednesday, February 25, 2009, the Beth-El Temple Soup Kitchen became a reality. On this day, three people would enter through the doors to be fed with a staff of fifteen willing and ready to serve. On this day, more than just food was provided. . . clothes from the Clothing Closet were distributed, prayer and an encouraging words were imparted, information was provided for employment, medical and housing referrals and assistance as well as counselors for drug addiction. Considering most meals are prepared by the hands of our qualified and anointed staff , the soup kitchen have had several sponsors to assist with providing meals through actual meals or monetary donations. Such sponsors include Nehemiah House, Maryland Food Bank, St. Vincent DePaul, CanCan, Woodmere Neighborhood Association, McDonalds, Mother Corrine Pender (MCP) Helping Hands Ministry of Beth-El Temple Church of Christ, Mr. Bogus & Sister Felicia Lockett. On average, the soup kitchen will feed approximately fifty-five people per week. Since the soup kitchen has been in existence, they have fed over 2,500 people and counting
