Soup Talk Ministry
About Soup Talk
Once a week on Thursdays from 11:30am-12:30pm, Compassion Network hosts a lunch for the unhoused in our area. Currently, we are serving food al fresco under a pine tree on the west side of the Family Resource Center. Every week there are individuals or groups who provide hot, pre-packaged meals and beverages to "grab-n'-go." The participants eat their meal while outreach volunteers connect with them in meaningful ways. Pastor Nate from Bridges Church partner with volunteers form CityServe congregations to lead this outreach.
