Kitchen Report

GRACE CLEGHORN

Almost every time we gather at St. Paul’s to worship, so do we gather to eat. This 2023 year was sure a busy one in the kitchen. 

We fed over 200 folks at this years Shrove Tuesday, and close to 300 for the choir fish fry. We serve an average of about 60 folks for Sunday morning breakfast, not including all of our devout coffee drinkers. We have also been serving 60+ meals for Wednesday night dinner. Caring Friends serves meals on Thursdays. 

Including Community Meals, Sunday breakfast, Wednesday dinner, Caring Friends, extra events, and the occasional weekend gatherings, our St. Paul’s kitchen served close to 18,000 meals and sandwiches this year to parishioners, the food insecure, and lucky bystanders. 

These numbers do not include all of the support and necessary work of those volunteers in the St. Spatula’s guild. 

We are also responsible for providing casseroles for the warming shelters as well as 1000 Christmas cookies and hot cocoa for Washington Regional hospital staff in December. 

We are ever busy, ever expanding, and ever excited to serve.
