From Lexington S.C.-
Lexington-based DayBreak Adult Care Services recently selected St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church Soup Kitchen in Aiken as the April winner for its "Charity Begins at Home" program.
DayBreak started the monthly charitable donation contest in 2010 as part of its 10th anniversary celebration. Each month, DayBreak donates $500 to a Midlands or Aiken County charity based on nominations received through its website. At the end of each month, the charity garnering the most votes receives a $500 contribution. DayBreak lists the winners and a description of their services on its website.
April's winner, St. Thaddeus Soup Kitchen, is devoted to serving the needs of the community. Every Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., a staff of volunteers prepares and serve meals to those in need. The staff serves an average of 175 meals every Saturday, with those numbers climbing to more than 225 during the summer months. The volunteers also personally deliver meals to members of the St. Thaddeus congregation who are sick or cannot leave their homes.
