Soup Kitchen

As believers we are called to reach out beyond the four walls of the church, to impact and bless our local community, that's why Caulfield LG is proud to be participating in Soup Kitchen!
Once every three months on thursday evenings, partnering with a local church, 6-8 of us head out to Boronia Bellbird Senior Citizens Hall to cook up a 3 course meal for 30-40 people. We are tasked to plan our own menu, timed at 45 minutes to cook our meals as dinner has to start on time at 6:30pm! By 6:15pm, the hall is filled with people of all ages, elderly people seeping their teas/cordless and kids running around the hall.
Part of the Soup kitchen experience also involved washing dishes for 30-40 people with hands, no dishwashing machine! Depending on the man power available, it takes about 45 minutes to wash up after dessert is served. At the end of the day, though the team is physically tired but very much refreshed at our hearts knowing that at the end of the day, we have made a difference!
