Congregations combine to feed the hungry in St. Lucie County starting June 1
How does an Arlo Guthrie concert at the Lyric Theatre in March turn into a Port St. Lucie community kitchen serving hot meals to the hungry in June?
Bob Carey, retired Episcopal priest and Episcopal Church of the Nativity member, knows.
When he heard Guthrie, famous for his 1967 song “Alice’s Restaurant,” conclude his Lyric show with a few words about people caring for one another, Carey said he began thinking how he could make the “little bit of a difference” that Guthrie was calling for.
He quickly realized that an interfaith community kitchen serving a free hot meal once a week could help hundreds of people who are down on their luck because of a job loss, pay cuts, foreclosure or other misfortune, he said.
The result was Sarah’s Kitchen, formed by the congregations of the Episcopal Church of the Nativity, First United Methodist Church, Grace Lutheran Church, New Jerusalem Worship Church, St. Andrew Lutheran Church and Temple Beth El Israel, all in Port St. Lucie.
