Volunteers keep Manna Meal kitchen running


From West Virginia-

Sometimes when a task seems overwhelming, many helpful hands can achieve the job flawlessly.

Manna Meal, which serves two meals a day to the homeless and those who are struggling to make ends meet, has been without a kitchen since Feb. 21. Housed at St. John's Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston, the kitchen will be under renovation until mid-June.

However, food has been served without a hitch thanks to groups of volunteers who cook and deliver.

"It's amazing," said Jean Simpson, executive director. "No matter what happens, Manna Meal always pulls through. God is always taking care of us."

The renovation project began thanks to a $500,000 gift from the H.B. Wehrle Jr. family. The renovation will convert a 1930s church kitchen to an industrial facility.
