Without water, soup kitchens still serving hungry

From West Virginia-

Charleston soup kitchens are continuing to feed people even though they don't have usable water because of the chemical leak in the Elk River.

Residents in eight counties and part of a ninth have been ordered not to use tap water for any purpose. In the meantime, soup kitchens are continuing to find ways to feed the hungry.

Jean Simpson, director of Manna Meal, a soup kitchen and day shelter, said that Manna Meal had a large amount of prepared food, more than they usually have because it is right after the holidays. She said that they have been able to distribute that food even without water.
