Lunch program sees rise in meals served
"Everyone is welcome" to come in for a meal, Rosenthal said.
According to Rosenthal, the program served 23,200 people and 34,908 meals from January through December 2007. He said he is already seeing an increase in the number of meals being served this fall and expects that number to rise as the economy continues to struggle.
The program has also distributed 1,100 Bibles in English and Spanish, hats, gloves, scarves, jackets, T-shirts, socks and toiletries.
The Open Door hot lunch program is one of the largest soup kitchens in Monmouth and Ocean counties, according to Rosenthal. As more people stop by for a meal, the program's costs have risen.
