Volunteers at the St. Francis Soup Kitchen

Luis

Luis has helped at the soup kitchen every day since 2012. He first came as a boy with his parents to the St. Francis food pantry, where he got to know Ms. Mildred, and he has been volunteering ever since. His favorite part is walking with neighbors who are unhoused and handing out clothes, and he helps keep the line calm and orderly.

Laura

Laura came to Harrisburg from Peru two years ago. She started volunteering because the soup kitchen helped her family when they arrived.

John Kelly — Kitchen Manager

John Kelly manages the St. Francis Soup Kitchen: daily operations, the volunteer schedule and the kitchen itself.
