Fridays in the Soup Kitchen

March 11, 2013

This spring take advantage of Fridays in the Soup Kitchen at St. John’s University! This program is available to staff, faculty and administers seeking to serve the Vincentian tradition. On Fridays throughout the academic year, groups of employees are invited to work and serve at St. John’s Bread and Life in Brooklyn, NY.

Volunteers serve in the food line or work in the pantry during lunch time at the kitchen. It is a wonderful opportunity to assist in building community in the workplace, while offering a very real and tangible way to serve God’s poor. This program is supported fully by the University so as long as you are  granted approval from your direct supervisor, you are free to join us during your Friday workday.

Campus Ministry will arrange transportation to and from the site, along with offering support and guidance throughout your experience. If you wish to attend, come to the main Campus Ministry office at 9:15 a.m. on Friday; you can expect to return to campus by 1:30 p.m.

All members of the University community are invited to attend. For more information, contact Rafael Rivera, Campus Minister, at (718) 990-3354 or riverar2@stjohns.edu.
