New Butte soup kitchen to open
A new soup kitchen will open in uptown Butte next week.
Meals will be served Saint John's Episcopal Church at Broadway and Idaho Streets every Thursday at noon.
This week, church volunteers are busy preparing the kitchen and the tables. While Saint John's is providing the space, Shepherd's Fold Pastor Dallas Doyle is providing the food and much of the labor.
"There is a great need, a great need, and especially in this uptown area, ever since the Salvation Army closed their doors there's been nothing up here for people, like living in these apartments up here or sleeping in vacant houses they find. So, they need something," Pastor Dallas Doyle of Shepherd's Fold said.
"It's a tough economy right now and so many people going without food and having to decide if they're going to pay their rent, or buy medicine or buy groceries. And, people should not have to make those kinds of choices," Fr. Elton Smith of Saint John's Episcopal Church said.
Food will be served from noon to two every Thursday at the soup kitchen.
