Muswell Hill Soup Kitchen
From their web page….”Our soup kitchen started in February 1994 in response to several people asking for food following the worship services. It has become the Muswell Hill Churches & Community Soup Kitchen. It is still located and administered here at the Baptist Church and is also staffed by volunteers from several local churches, other faith groups and the wider community. We are open five evenings a week, Sunday through Thursday. Doors open 7.45-8.30pm [on SUNDAYS 5:00-6:00pm] We normally serve a two course meal to about 40 people each night, a total of 8,000-10,000 meals a year.
How can you help?
“We are very grateful to the many organisations, schools and individuals that support this outreach. Maybe you can help too?”
DONATIONS: “We can use most food that is safe to eat so contact us if you can donate some (though please don’t leave food at our doors anonymously as if we cannot verify its origin we have to throw it away). We are not a food bank but can often find ways of giving out food we cannot use. We can sometimes do the same with men’s clothes and basic toiletries. Just contact us first to check that we can use your gift. And it goes without saying that we can use money!” www.mhbc.org.uk
