Bangor Area Churches Unite to Start a Sunday Soup Kitchen

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

BANGOR, Maine (Press Release), March 30, 2009. Beginning April 19, at 12:00 noon, several Bangor area churches will unite to provide a meal every Sunday to anyone who is hungry. Columbia Street Baptist Church, Bangor Baptist, Redeemer Lutheran and St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church will take turns providing food and serving a meal every Sunday. Currently, the meal consists of soup, bread and cookies. The Soup kitchen’s location is a large room with adjacent kitchen on the first floor of Columbia Street Baptist Church, 63 Columbia Street, Bangor, 945-6616.

Columbia Street Baptist Church’s physical location in the heart of Downtown Bangor, and close proximity to the Bangor Homeless Shelter, Shaw House, and Manna Ministries, makes it a great place to host a soup kitchen and serve a meal to those who would otherwise have no meal on Sunday.

The general feeling within the community is that a meal on Sunday is needed. Manna Ministries and The Salvation Army Soup Kitchen—who serve meals during the week—are closed on Sunday. The Bangor Homeless Shelter turns away 20-30 people each Sunday. Once word gets around, the Soup kitchen expects to serve 80 to 90 people each week.  During these tough economic times, it’s possible the need for a Sunday soup kitchen will be here for a very long time.
