Community Breakfast and Soup Sunday Expand

Calvary Community Breakfast and Soup Sunday

Offered at Calvary Episcopal Church—Volunteers Welcome!
The primary mission of the Community Breakfast is best stated in Matthew 25:35. “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.” Every Sunday volunteers provide a welcoming blessing, a wholesome breakfast, and needed clothing and toiletries to between 150-200 hungry guests from our downtown community.Interested persons can volunteer on Saturdays or Sundays or both. Saturday volunteers lay out trays of bacon and break 30 dozen eggs. Saturday volunteers generally work for several hours on one or possibly two Saturday mornings a month. Sunday kitchen volunteers make homemade biscuits, scramble eggs, cook bacon, pour glasses of milk and juice, prepare and serve coffee, and wash pots and pans. Other volunteers welcome our guests, pass out tickets, and offer a friendly face and encouraging word. After breakfast is served, volunteers hand out toiletries and gently worn clothing contributed by our parishioners to our guests, many of whom are homeless. 

Soup Sunday is one of the primary ways that the Community Breakfast is funded. Once a month, Soup Sunday volunteers prepare delicious and nutritious soup which is then sold to Calvary parishioners and certain other downtown church members to provide income to help cover the cost of the Community Breakfast. At St. Peter Church, Soup Sunday is usually on the 2ndSunday of the month.

The cost of food and supplies for the Community Breakfast is approximately $500 each week so we are always in need of and welcome contributions. All of the labor for the breakfast is provided by volunteers from Calvary, St. Williams Catholic Church, Brighton Baptist Church, Southern College of Optometry, and other folks we have recruited. We love volunteers and anyone is welcome to come and help. Contact Mary Nease at [email protected] or Christine Todd at [email protected] .
