Big Kitchen 4th Year Anniversary

Big news from the Big Kitchen (Soup Kitchen Marietta), believe it or not we have been up and running for four whole years come September 4th of this year.  I know, it’s hard to believe.  Of course all the Glory goes to our Father in Heaven!!!  He has just provided time and time again.  I don”t even think about where the food is coming from anymore because I just know it will!!  As long as food keeps coming in we will keep cooking it up and serving it.

This year we finally made partnership with the Atlanta Community Food Bank, a.k.a. ACFB.  this has been such a blessing especially for our budget, because we are able to buy alot of different food supplies for a fraction of the cost that we would pay on the economy.  Most importantly though is that we are able to fill their plates up with a better balanced and even more hearty meal.  Our patrons are so happy to come in and get fed and feel very much at home while they are here.  We really do our best to make them feel special.  Plus, we are now feeding twice a week.

We have literally prepared and served thousands of meals to individuals that might have otherwise just gone hungry that day.

I want to give a special thanks to the individuals that were very instrumental in the long and arduous task of getting our kitchen up to specifications in order for us to make partnership with the ACFB, they really deserve it;

Big News from the Big Kitchen!

Hey Every Sister and Brother of Mine,

We here in the Big Kitchen have so much exciting news.  I am going to start with the most exciting of all;

1. We have finally made partnership with the Atlanta Community Food Bank!!  I haven’t figured menus yet but our dollar is most definitely going to be stretched a lot further.  No, that’s not all. We are authorized to do functions such as pancake breakfasts for the community, or snacks for the basketball group or anything we can dream of.

2.  This however, doesn”t mean that it’s free;  we still have to raise money for down the road.  That’s why The Big Kitchen is throwing a big Luau on June 16.

3.  Let me tell you about some of the attractions;  First, Chief Mau Mau, a great Hawaiian Chief will pay us a visit, (you won’t want to miss this).  We will have a pig roast, a 40/40/20 raffle (more description on that will follow), more food, music, learn to dance Hawaiian style and a chance to see all of your sister and brothers from our sister churches because all churches are invited.

4.  Tickets are $17.00 for a couple, $10.00 for singles and $5.00 for visitors.  Please email mariettadealhunter@yahoo.com if you are interested in attending or just plain ol donating! You don’t have to pay for tickets right away to reserve a seat, but you do have to reserve one to attend.

The Big Kitchen has been operating for 3 1/2 years now, have fed thousands of meals and we are going strong only thanks to everybody participating in any small or large way.  We have visions of doing so much for our community right here in our own neighborhood, but we will need the continued support, so please sign up for the fund raiser or just make a donation.  I thank all of you for your undying support.

This is the year of the Lord’s favor.

Your Sissy

Jackie Williams
