CT, feeds the
hungry. A

Seven teams of volunteers prepare and serve the meals which
generally consist of hot soup, a hot entrée (usually with a
vegetable
and a carbohydrate), freshly made salad, bread and butter,
hot and cold beverages, and a variety of desserts. Clients
are able to take home a variety of wrapped bakery items
supplied by area stores, along with fresh vegetables and
fruits when available.

The number of meals served daily averages between 140-170,
sometimes reaching as many as 250.
Anyone who enters the MSK is served a meal – sex, age,
nationality or any other criteria are not factors. An
accurate tabulation of meals served daily is maintained.
During the weekend, meals are available from the nearby
Salvation Army. |
