Sunday Soup Kitchen

The issue of hunger is addressed through an on- site, congregate meal program that serves predominately homeless men and women, and a community network CSA project that predominantly serves families in the immediate Cathedral community. These programs are staffed by the CCC Food Manager, the Community Organizer and lots of paid and unpaid volunteer staff.

Sunday Soup Kitchen: Staffed by a part-time food pantry manager, MSW candidates, and volunteers, CCC operates a weekly Soup Kitchen serving both a hot breakfast and lunch as well as a take away brown bag meal to approximately 250-300 people. In addition to providing meals, the Soup Kitchen is an opportunity for clients to also receive both formal and informal counseling and referral services from the on-site MSW interns and staff. CCC also utilizes the opportunity to notify clients regarding various issues that may pertain to them including access to other social service programs, health concerns, and food stamp pre-screening. The delivery of foods from local food banks, direction of volunteers, preparation and serving of meals is all coordinated by the food pantry manager. Volunteers are needed to prepare and serve meals, set-up and clean up of the dining space. If you are interested, please call 212-316-7579. Volunteers must be 16 years of age and older. Sunday Community Dining Hours: Breakfast @ 10:00 am Lunch @ 12:30 pm No referral necessary.
