4 Terrace Review —— Wednesday, December 11, 1991 Food for Thought - back in business “ood for Thought" is back. The soup kitchen, named after a series of forebears that started in the early 1980’s, is scheduled to start up again soon, this time in the Christ Lutheran Church on Sparks St. The 1991 version is aimed at _ providing a service for hungry school children, said coordinator Gerry King at a press conference last week. The church is less than a block away from E.T. Kenney and Clarence Michiel schools, and based on his experi- ence from last year, when the Terrace Anti-Poverty Group ran a soup kitchen at the nearby Carpenter's Hall, King expects the operation to provide hot, home-cooked meals for between 60 and 100 kids a day. It will be open five days a week, exclusively for children between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. King said the kitchen will employ one cook. Volunteer monitors are being arranged to look after the children while they’re in the church. He believes the soup kitchen will cost about $20,000 a year to operate. The anti-poverty group can raise some of that through their bingo licence, and King said he’s hoping for additional support from unions and local businesses.

"We had no hope until the Lutherans came through," King said, adding that the church is. charging no rent. Although the carpenters have been cooperative in allowing the anti-poverty group to use their hall, King said it wasn’t available for the full five-day-a-week operation he envisioned, King believes there is a possi- bility that Food for Thought, or something like it, could event- ually become a permanent oper- ation funded by the provincial government. "I think the new government will initiate a (school: lunch) program, but it will probably take a year to put _ it together," he said. "It’s a good investment, like preventative medicine." The soup kitchen will also serve adults who need hot food, but at different hours, 1-2 p.m. ' Carol Wallington, who is also involved in the project, com- mented, "When economic times are down, children should be guaranteed some safety." Although King said Terrace District Teachers’ Union presi- dent Rob Brown is looking after the school district side of the program, Clarence Michie] prin- cipal Rick Olson said Monday ie ‘ft Bat nemarnaeniees Me UNT; IN ski CORPORATION | Wallington, King: Children deserve protection from hard times. he was aware of the program but had not received any communi- cation from the organizing group.
