The idea formulated when Mary Smolter , Saint Alexis Middle School teacher and Student Council moderator , connected with alumna Saint Alexis parent and volunteer at Jubilee Kitchen Debbie Viducich of Mars .
“ Statistics show that socks are the most needed item for the homeless , but they are also the least donated ,” says Viducich . “ We rely on donations since we have no funding from any other sources .”

Jubilee Kitchen serves lunch 365 days a year and serves up to 125 people a day .
