10th Annual Soup's On for All - An event benefitting God's Kitchen

25 January 2010 ~ The B.O.B. ~ Downtown ~ Photography by: Michael Buck

GRSD and photographer Michael Buck had the pleasure of attending the 10th annual "Soups On for All" event at the B.O.B. The Catholic Charities of West Michigan event benefitting God's Kitchen drew quite a diverse crowd. Young and old sampled soups served up by some of West Michigan's local TV personalities and representatives from all different local organizations including the Grand Rapids Police and Fire Departments.

For those of you who aren't familiar with God's Kitchen, this local nonprofit organization served over 195,000 meals in 2008 and provides service through two programming initiatives. These initiatives are Capital Lunch and Meals on Wheels. Capital Lunch is served from 2:30 to 4:00 pm daily to those on a walk-in basis with no questions or qualifiers. Meals on Wheels are noon-time meals that are delivered Monday thru Friday to the homebound. God's Kitchen has over 3,000 volunteers help annually and if you'd like to know more about volunteering you can visit their website, www.ccwestmi.org

Guests at the event could choose a hand-painted soup bowl to take home created by many local school children and volunteers. The decorated bowls were vibrant and colorful, and with lots of different designs to choose from, everyone left with something memorable to commemorate the occasion. What a great idea and a welcome addition to your everyday dinnerware! Along with the volunteer painted bowls, local artists also took their turn painting bowls that could be purchased and the money donated to God's Kitchen.

A big thanks to Catholic Charities of West Michigan for welcoming GRSD with open arms and for all the yummy soups and bread we got to taste that evening.
