Siouxland Soup Kitchen keeping people warm with a hearty meal
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Since 1987, the Siouxland Soup Kitchen has had one mission: to provide a hot meal to anyone in need. Every night Monday through Friday, the soup kitchen opens its doors to feed more than a hundred people. Local first responders working in cold weather conditions 'We usually average between 130 to 160 diners a night,' Siouxland Soup Kitchen board member Heather Albrecht said. 'We definitely like to serve a warm meal every night.' On Monday night's menu was a personal favorite of many: lasagna. 'Today we did pick lasagna due to the cold,' Albrecht said. 'I got to make the choice, and it is one of the favorites, and it's a nice, warm, hearty meal.' With more than a hundred mouths to feed, the Siouxland Soup Kitchen needs all the hands and ingredients it can get to make it all possible. 'Well, we definitely need the volunteers to come and help us prepare,' Albrecht said. 'We've got some volunteers in the kitchen right now that are helping prepare tonight's meal. Tonight, we're using 50 pounds of ground beef that was donated for the lasagna, and we plan to make enough to serve 170 to 200 people.' Food Bank of Siouxland to host 3rd annual KenDUCKY Derby The soup kitchen runs completely off of donations and volunteers. Officials thanked people that help them out and encourage more people to join. 'The donations that we receive allow us to provide a good, healthy meal,' Albrecht said. 'So without the donations, without our volunteers, we wouldn't be able to do what we're doing.' If you'd like to volunteer with the Siouxland Soup Kitchen or donate food, click here.
