Soup Kitchen

The Ealing Soup Kitchen is a long term ministry to the poor and needy in the area. Together with 7 other churches we provide hot drinks, hot food (well soup), sandwiches and a take out of tins and clothes every Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Average attendances have increased significantly over the past few months; we now get up to 90 guests (some of whom are shown in the photographs)

With the support of several churches we have been able to employ a part time worker called Daphne. She is always present at the kitchen, giving much needed continuity. Under her leadership we have expanded the work to include advice on housing and benefits, including accompanying clients to appointments with the council. Also we have a karaoke evening and a trip to the sea side (once we had managed to persuade the coach driver to let everybody on board).

We always need help, especially now the numbers have increased.  If you would be interested in becoming a Befriender to one of the Ealing Soup Kitchen Clients mainly visiting every fortnight with another person outside of the regular sessions, please could you contact "The Worker with the Homeless" Daphne Edwards on 07749 253365 or St. Johns 020 8566 3507 and arrange an interview.

We also need prayer, for Soup Kitchen guests to put addictions and personal hurt behind them and turn to God is a long and involved process and needs lots of prayer.
