Warmer Weather

We had a very gorgeous day this past Wednesday, April 16th! Even still, we did have good attendance at the Soup's On! 3 under poverty level people came out and approximately $56 was collected for soup (which means approximately 28 bowls were sold) and approximately $7.50 was donated! I say approximately because I didn't do the tickets seeing we were running like crazy and there was only two of us, so I don't know if the numbers of soup sold were less and more dontations were made.

I decided that the Old Senior Centre will be our area for the Soup's On for the last weeks. It serves to be benefitial in many ways. I can heat up the soup on the stove that is in there, dishes can be washed in the double sink, the counter can hold the crock pots nicely and it is very convenient to the dishes which we borrow the use of! Even though it may be a little cozy for seating, it proves to be a nice location for now.

Nonni was amazing and made a neat soup that looked like chili but was called something Texan. It went over quite well! No leftovers. Nonni also donated her time (or, should I say, our bosses let her donate some of her paid time) and helped me serve soup, buns and water as well as collecting the payments for the soup.

I made up some beef and brown rice soup (for Renzo and those others that don't like their veggies!), and the last of the onion, split pea & ham, and vegan cabbage were used up. Looks like I will be really busy next week making 4 new soups!!!

The end of April will be the close of this venture until the cold weather comes... or, possibly perminantly if GOD calls me to different pastures. :) We will see what the future holds!
