Butte soup kitchen expands, changes name

From Montana-

A soup kitchen in Butte has expanded and changed its name.

The Shepherds Fold Soup Kitchen is now the Shepherds Community Meal of St John's Episcopal Church. It's serving food an extra day each week.

Father Smith says they are now serving lunch from noon to 2 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday. The extra day is due to extra people coming in for food. In the last month they've served almost 350 people and that's why it's now called a "community meal" instead of a soup kitchen.

"The meal is a community based phenomenon, not just for Episcopalians, but for anyone who's hungry. But it's also for college students, people working uptown, anybody who'd like to come in," Smith said.

The community meal is located at St John's Episcopal Church at the intersection of Broadway and Idaho streets.
