Local soup kitchen in need
From Utah-
As many impoverished residents continue to rely on the St. George Soup Kitchen for free meals, representatives from the organization are calling upon members of the community to support their goal of feeding the hungry.
Rich Rivera, executive director of the charitable organization, said community donations for the soup kitchen have declined by about 30 percent from last year.
"We continue to struggle to raise funds," he said. "The kitchen kind of just limps along."
Offering free lunch to members of the community three times weekly at Grace Episcopal Church in St. George, Rivera said the soup kitchen serves as a valuable resource to a number of residents.
