Because the soup kitchen serves children, many who are at school during the day, food is typically distributed for take-out rather than eat-in. The serving time has also been changed to 11:00 to 12:30. We have also recently added new families to feed an additional 17 people bringing our total to 67.<br> Welcome to all the <b>new soup kitchen volunteers</b> who have joined the ranks in helping those less fortunate in Moscow. Please send an e-mail note if you wish to become a regular volunteer, join our committee or assist in any other way to <a href="muramj@aol.com">muramj@aol.com</a> Thanks to those who generously gave monetary donations for additional food to our clients last month. The donations provide additional food for the meal and include such things as dairy products, salads, buns, meat and chocolates. <br> <b>Grant</b> recently returned back to the US after spending the summer in Moscow. He was a faithful volunteer at Kuznetsky Most and terrific singer in the choir. Look for him when he returns next year. <br> <b>Girl Scouts</b> from AAS 6th grade Troop 4 helped serve at the Mosfilmovskaya soup kitchen on October 4. The girls served treats that they prepared and provided a cheerful smile while working on one of their badges. They will also be collecting candy from Halloween to distribute.<br> Over<b> 4000 lbs</b> of long life fruit yogurt donated by <b>Campina </b>was picked up on Oct. 22 in Stupino by a caravan of minivans from MPC led by Pastor Bob. The yogurt will be distributed over the coming weeks at the Mosfilmovskaya and Kuznetsky Most soup kitchens, an orphanage supported by AAS and IWC, MPC s food bags to African, UN refugees and Metis children and at the retired librarian soup kitchen supported by IWC. We recently completed distributing 1000 lbs. of yogurt also donated by <b>Campina</b> on Oct. 5. Anyone wishing to help in future trips, please contact <b>Pastor Bob</b>. <b>Christy </b>is currently working on a photo project to let volunteers know our customer s names. She is adding names to our client s photos and should be ready very soon. Thanks to the <b>Ambassador of Germany</b> who donated a cake to the Mosfilmovskaya soup kitchen on October 9. <br> <b>Pass the word: </b>You may have read about MPC s soup kitchen in local newsletters. Thanks to <b>Michelle</b> and <b>Diana</b> who have helped us spread the word of the soup kitchen in recent IWC and US Embassy news. The soup kitchen committee s next meeting is 1230 on Monday, Nov. 26 at Evelyn s house in the German Embassy compound. The meeting is open to anyone wishing to brainstorm with future events and projects. We will be planning the Christmas party for Kuznetsky Most and Christmas gift bags at Mosfilmovskaya.
