No ‘hiccups’ in soup kitchen’s new location
Needy people ate for the first time Monday at the Rome-Floyd County Community Soup Kitchen’s new location and gave their opinions on the change.
“It’s better. I like it,” Hope Torres said as she dined on chili and cornbread.
“It’s sorta crowded,” Steve Lorenzo said. “But it’s good. We ain’t got nothing, so …,” he said with a shrug.
The soup kitchen, which serves weekday meals from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., had rotated among five churches, primarily downtown. Volunteer coordinators desired a single location with more kitchen space and leased the former site of Troy’s Barbecue at the corner of North Broad Street and Calhoun Avenue. The site is also on the city bus line.
Meal volunteers will rotate among the churches, but St. Peter’s Episcopal Church will
continue to serve meals from its kitchen on the third week of each month.
