A COMMUNITY EFFORT
By Kelsey Butler
A The Soup Bowl relies on donations and
volunteers to prepare and provide 150
meals a day.
The Soup Bowl serves free lunch between
the hours of 11:30 am and 1:00 pm Monday
through Friday. Shirley Milton is one of those volunteers.
You will find her at the Soup Bowl every
Thursday and Friday. She explains that visi-
tors “can have refills on almost everything…
It’s not just one helping; it’s really how
much they want because this is the only
food that some people get.”
Katrina Dorsey took over as director of An-
niston Soup Bowl in September. She says
“we serve anybody that walks through the
door… we don’t ask where they live; we just
ask if they want everything.” Fellow volunteer Denise White has been
helping out at the Soup Bowl for three and
a half years. “This was the first place I was
led to when I retired in 2015,” she explains.
“I just loved the atmosphere and a lot of
hot meal isn’t the only thing you’ll
discover at the Anniston Soup Bowl,
301 West 15th Street. You’ll also find smiling
faces, fellowship, and friendship. Serving
approximately 700 meals a month, the staff
and volunteers at the Soup Bowl say it is a
community effort to feed the hungry.
