Soup Kitchen Saturdays

Second Saturday of every month
Catholic Outreach
245 S. 1st Street

UUCGV works with Catholic Outreach to provide a meal for the houseless community each month. There are two shifts and experienced workers will help you learn what to do. Both shifts are welcome to eat lunch after we serve! Anyone with an interest in helping to prepare or serve this meal is welcome; teens included. ​ Please bring a scarf or hat to cover your hair.

8:30am-10:00am Cooking Shift - The cooks decide the menu from ingredients in the freezer and pantry. 

11:45am-1:15pm Serving and Cleanup - Meet and greet the folks as they arrive, serving up a hot, tasty meal. 

​Please contact Chris Jauhola (chrisjauhola@aol.com; phone 703-216-6479) for more information and to let us know that you plan to volunteer.

Food Bank Needs at the Soup Kitchen

In addition to preparing lunch at their Soup Kitchen for more than 68,000 people last year, Catholic Outreach provided supplemental food from their small Food Pantry for 4,700 individuals, including many single parent households.  The Food Pantry provides families with enough food for 3 days.  It provides an emergency back-up for families that have exhausted other food options for the month.  The food pantry is currently in need of food. Thank you for your generous support to local families in need.
