JRC Soup Kitchens

JRC members operate three Soup Kitchens in Evanston at which groups of JRC volunteers cook a community meal for approximately 90 people in need. Participants are often asked to contribute food items for the meal, prepare, serve and clean up. Children are welcome when supervised by their parents.

After long and devoted service, some soup kitchen leaders are ready to train new leaders. Could you be one?
