Gethsemane Lutheran Church Soup And Movies
We provide help to the homeless in downtown Seattle through various programs. Specifically this volunteer opportunity is for our "Soup and Movies" program in which we provide a meal and a movie for 120 low income and homeless people each Saturday.
Description:
Our "Soup and Movies" program is conducted by volunteer members of our small church congregation and is funded by monetary and in kind donations from the congregation. We prepare soup, sandwiches, beverages, cookies, and candy and serve 120 low income and homeless people each Saturday at noon. After the meal, a feature length movie is shown in the auditorium. The volunteers work from approximately 9:00 am to about 1:00 pm doing food preparation, serving and cleanup.
History:
The church has been in downtown Seattle for over 120 years. The soup and movies program was started about 23 years ago in an effort to relieve the suffering of the homeless and hungry street people in the downtown area.
