| Donations |
Financial donations to Stone Soup are the most useful, because
they allow us to buy what we need when we need it. Donations of boxed, canned, or
frozen food and produce are also welcome. (Sorry, health laws prevent us from
accepting "windfall"fruit or food prepared in an uncertified kitchen.) |
| |
| Volunteering |
Stone Soup is always looking for people to help out, either
regularly or as substitutes. Kitchen work is generally a 2-3 hour commitment. If you
are interested in being a cook, server, dishwasher, or cleanup/close person, please
e-mail Mindi Thornton at stonesouphelp@yahoo.com.

| The History of Stone Soup Kitchen |
In 1982 a group of concerned parishioners at St. Mary's
Catholic Church in Corvallis, Oregon established a soup kitchen to assist people in
need of meals.
From the small group who served one meal a week, Stone Soup has expanded to over
one hundred volunteers, who serve seven days a week to the many who are now in need of
food. This group of volunteers includes members of many faith communities and OSU
student organizations, as well as members of the community at large. |
