The Rapid City chapter of Food not Bombs is set to celebrate seven years of sharing soup with residents of the East Boulevard Bridge area.From the days of setting up on card tables with a stock pot filled with steaming soups every Sunday on the banks of Rapid Creek, Deirdre Monahan, Pat Zent, and their intrepid group of volunteers, intent on providing an alternative for people who would otherwise be subjected to persecution at the hands of the Calvinists that operate the Cornerstone Mission, have expanded to share goodies with as many as seventy people.
Today at 11:30, whether rain, blizzard, 100 in the shade, or below zero, Madeline and Claire Kurtz will share salmon casserole they helped make with their mother and with an eclectic community of persons on a sunny, but chilly, November day.
Donations of food, clothing, and money are accepted at the site, at Main Street Market, and at Black Hills Federal Credit Union.
a few corrections: food not bombs in RC has been going on for longer...it's just been 7 years since Deirdre Monahan took it over.
ReplyDeleteThe bank account for FNB is fedral credit union they will take deposits but are not set up for any other type of donations. there is a cash jar on the counter at Main Street Market for those who wish to donate
Deirdre Monahan does not consider The Cornerstone Mission to be persecutors or even Calvinists; they just have their own way of going about it....they help a lot of people too.
thank you for noticing all the hard work that does go into Food Not Bombs!
Madeline Kurtz :)
