Grace Church Community Center Soup Kitchen in White Plains, New York,
offers free meals to people in need. Grace Church Community Center
serves a wide range of people, including day laborers, retired people,
recent immigrants who are just getting their lives started, and
unemployed and homeless people of all ages. The kitchen is open five
days a week from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm, filling an important part of the
day between breakfast and lunch. It is also open on holidays, providing
people with more than hot meals during cold months by giving its needy
visitors a safe haven, full of caring people.

Grace Church Community Center Soup Kitchen has also donated clothing and
toiletries, including warm coats during the winter, and its bilingual
staff gives out information about public assistance programs, job
openings, and other social services. In addition, you do not have to go
into the GCCC Soup Kitchen for them to be willing to help you; they
regularly deliver meals to people who are unable to leave their homes.

On average, Grace Church Community Center Soup Kitchen serves 30,000
meals a year. To learn more, visit www.gracecommunitycenter.org.
