A local soup kitchen in downtown Grafton served 120 meals in just 16 minutes yesterday evening. The Grafton Community Soup Kitchen, run entirely by volunteers, typically serves meals to those in need every Tuesday evening. However, this particular Tuesday saw an unprecedented demand, leading to a remarkable display of efficiency and dedication by the volunteers.
The kitchen, located on Oak Street, opened its doors at 6:00 p.m. as usual. By 6:16 p.m., all 120 meals had been served, with individuals lining up around the block. The kitchen manager, Sarah Thompson, expressed astonishment at the speed with which they were able to serve everyone. “It was truly incredible to see everyone come together and work so efficiently to ensure that no one went hungry last night,” she remarked.
The increase in demand is believed to be due to recent economic challenges faced by many in the community. With the ongoing pandemic and its associated repercussions, more families and individuals are finding themselves in need of assistance to put food on the table. The soup kitchen has been a consistent source of support for these individuals, providing not only meals but also a sense of community and solidarity during difficult times.
Overall, the successful and rapid distribution of 120 meals in such a short time underscores the invaluable role that the Grafton Community Soup Kitchen plays in the local community, particularly during times of crisis and increased need.
