Well we just wrapped up our first in a series of Sunday Brunches for the Homeless.
It was such a success. We served over 50 individuals a wonderful brunch that included blueberry pancakes, bacon, sausage,juices muffins etc. The line kept getting longer and longer as the hours went on. We are expecting a much larger crowd this Sunday now that the word is out.
We thank the Neighbor to Neighbor Lifeline grant that made this all possible.
I'll keep you posted as the weeks go by.
Thank you again,

Comparing July – September 2008 to the same period in 2006, the Community Soup Kitchen in New Haven has experienced a 25% increase in the number of people served (based on an unduplicated count). According to the CT Food Bank, the increase in meals served and number of people served by the Community Soup Kitchen is typical of the increased need and demand evident throughout the greater New Haven service area.
