Free Lunch Earns $3,000
Three thousand dollars toward ending homelessness in Annapolis. That’s the takeaway from Heritage Baptist Church’s 10th Annual SOUPer Bowl Lunch for the Light House Homeless Prevention and Support Center. Thus, the free lunch prepared by Blackwall Hitch Chef Zachary Pope cost each of its 300-plus eaters about $10. Not a bad price for high-end chili, chicken noodle or baked potato soups along with salad, bread and dessert. Plus, of course, a good cause.
Ladling the soups were students learning job skills at the Light House BEST Culinary Job Training Program.
“The $3,000 raised this year is a new record for us,” said Rev. Stephen Price of Heritage Baptist. “We deeply appreciate the support for the SOUPer Bowl from the community and the Heritage Baptist volunteers each year.”
