Shepherd’s Kitchen Hosts Free Community Dinner By Francine Fulton
Folks are invited to enjoy a free dinner along with fellowship with their friends and neighbors as part of the Shepherd’s Kitchen meal ministry offered at Honey Brook Presbyterian Church. Free dinners are served at the church on the first Thursday of the month from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. with the exception of January and July. July’s meal will be held on Thursday, July 11, due to the Independence Day holiday. The dinner generally includes an entree, salad, side dishes, dessert and beverages. Past meals have included meatloaf with potatoes and green beans, ham and turkey for the holidays, homemade chicken potpie, shepherd’s pie and homemade soups. The meal on June 6 consisted of pasta with sauce, bread, tossed salad with dressing and an assortment of
desserts. “Next month, we will have a picnic,” said volunteer Lynn Klumpp. “We will have hamburgers, hot dogs, macaroni salad and baked beans.” She noted that the food comes from the Chester County Food Bank (CCFB), is donated by local grocery stores and is purchased with monetary donations that are placed in a collection bin at each meal. “We don’t want to (ask for donations), but some people said they would not come unless they could (donate),” Klumpp said. All food is prepared by volunteers. While most volunteers at the meal are congregation members, others also assist with the ministry, which was founded by a group of ladies at the church, led by Peggy Stapleford. Klumpp said that about 70 people of all ages attend the dinner each month. The meal is open to everyone, regardless of church affiliation or place of See Shepherd’s Kitchen pg 4
