Soup's On!
Every Tuesday and Thursday
|
Every Tuesday and Thursday the MLK offers soup and sandwiches to everyone in the community. Just stop by for lunch from 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. while supplies last. This program wouldn't be possible without the generosity of Blount Fine Foods. Every month they donate 100 cases of soup to support community meals and the pantry!
