As we entered the Soup Kitchen door there was a gentleman in a green sweater and green tossel cap. His pants were stained and hung below his feet so he walked on them with his shoes. As you enter the front door of the Soup Kitchen you enter into the dining area of the facility. There are I believe five rows of three tables and each table has about

The women in the kitchen were preparing the trays. They started to place ribs, cookies, muffins, bowls and a spoon on each tray. The crazy part about all of that is there is no plate or paper that they set the food on. They set it directly on the tray. I couldn't get over that. As the ladies continued to prepare the trays, Ms. H and myself went out into the dining area where we were to help set up the area where the soup and salad would be served. An older gentleman I believe that his name was Therman, helped us out. Actually he did everything. All I had to do was dump crackers into a bowl. The workers have their system down pat. If you do something to try and help out, it will just throw the whole preparation out of whack. Ms. H and myself just stood there while he prepared our station. As we were waiting to begin serving, they sent Tedrick into the back to do dishes in the dish room. He was pretty upset about it and really didn't want to do it but he said that he would do anything that they needed him to do. I think he was a good sport about it.

six chairs. They are the hard, plastic, chairs. Anyway the gentleman in the green sweater and green tossel cap seemed like he was pretty excited to see us as we walked through the door. He immediately told us to come in and go into the back where the kitchen was to wash our hands. We walked back into the kitchen and there about five ladies or so greeted us. They were all preparing to get something to eat. When we were through with washing our hands the gentleman in the green sweater asked us if we wanted something to eat. I immediately said yes and I could see be the look on Tedricks face that he wanted to say no but I quickly whispered to him that he should eat because I didn't want them to think that we thought that we were to good to eat food from the Soup Kitchen. Although he really didn't want to eat, he did grab a plate and a plastic fork along with myself. They had lots to choose from. There was some kind of chicken dumpling stew, (at least that's what it looked like) corn from a can, breaded boneless chicken patties, stuffed green peppers, green beans and something in a brown sauce that I couldn't identify. Tedrick and myself chose to eat one of the breaded boneless fried chicken patties and some burnt canned corn. The workers kept telling us to take more and eat as much as we like. I think they wanted us to get nice and full before we started to serve the homeless. But we refused to eat anymore thinking that was what they were going to feed it to the people coming in to the kit
