The Caring Kitchen
In Matthew 25:45 Jesus as says “Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.”
In 1989, Burlington Assembly of God began making plans for what would become The Caring Kitchen. We felt the need to provide a hot lunch on the weekends to the homeless, the low-income, and the shut-ins of the Burlington area.
The kitchen opened for the first time in January 1990 and the first meals were served.
More than a
“Soup Kitchen”
We are more than a soup kitchen. Many have been blessed through this ministry whether it is through serving others or benefitting from a warm meal. The ministry is run by volunteers who help prepare and serve the meals in addition to helping with the cleanup after the meals each Saturday and Sunday. Each week we remind those we serve that God cares for and loves each of them. We are here to listen and to share Jesus with everyone.
