Albion soup kitchen straining to serve all in need

From New York-

A local soup kitchen which has served as many as 32 meals a week since it opened 17 years ago is now seeing that number jump to 300 or more.

The Rev. Cynthia Sever, pastor of Christ Episcopal Church, and Faith Smith, director of its Community Kitchen, are scrambling to feed more with less — considerably less.
“We are looking at Jesus performing the loaves and fishes miracle here,” the Rev. Sever said.
Up until a year ago, 20 to 30 was the average number who would come to the church on Friday nights to receive a free meal.

Most of the food served by the soup kitchen comes through a grant from Foodlink in Rochester, and when the numbers started to climb, the Rev. Sever said she contacted Foodlink and asked if they could increase the grant.
