Iron Gate open to hungry
Iron Gate, a soup kitchen and food pantry in downtown Tulsa that feeds the hungry and homeless, held a recent "friend raiser" luncheon to strengthen the network of people who serve the city's less fortunate.
Representatives of social service agencies, churches and the media gathered in the soup kitchen's newly renovated dining area, which now features a full-wall mural of the Arkansas River funded by Steve and Shelley Jackson, and a tiny outdoor dining area with landscape funded by Clayton and Pat Woodrum.
Iron Gate is located in the basement of Trinity Episcopal Church and although it shares space it is a separate, nonprofit organization. Each morning volunteers serve 450-500 meals and every week, volunteers distribute 100-125 grocery bags.
