 Another
fine meal served by the Open
Door Food Kitchen crew from
Huffman Memorial UMC. |
The
Huffman Memorial UMC'S ministry at the Open Door Food Kitchen in
St.
Joseph, MO began in 1987. From that date on the Food Kitchen crew
(all volunteers) have been serving the St. Joseph community on the
fourth
Friday of each month. Their menu consists of goulash, buttered bread,
green beans, pickles, applesauce jello, cookies and milk, juice or
coffee. The financial assistance for the Open Door Food Kitchen mission comes from donations made by the members of the Huffman UMC congregation. The UMW also conducts a dinner in the spring to help with expenses. |
