The soup kitchen at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Patchogue is a beautiful place to create meals for those who do not have enough money or equipment to make their own food.

If you choose to volunteer here, you make very healthy dishes, with fresh vegetables and many more nutritious and delicious ingredients. Not only does the kitchen give healthy meals to people who need them most, fresh coffee or nice hot tea is also served. The soup kitchen is one of the best places to help the community and give to people who don’t have all of the luxuries that we enjoy.

So if you are interested in cooking and helping the homeless, go to licares.org to volunteer. I go there every Monday when I am off from school. I like helping with the cooking and getting the coffee and tea for everyone. There is a regular crowd that shows up that I have gotten to know during my time there.
