Davis Chapel Baptist Church is hoping to help provide a hot meal as well as clothing items to anyone in the community in need. Organizers call the program “Food for the Soul, Clothes for the Cold” and Charles Turrentine Jr. was a guest on Monday’s TownTalk to provide some details.
On the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, the church is the spot where individuals can stop in between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. for a respite at the soup kitchen fellowship, Turrentine said.
“We want to impact people walking down the street…to be a light to them and help them any way we can,” he said.
And beginning in the new year, he said there are plans underway to partner with local schools and churches to provide meals to children when they’re out of school for teacher workdays.
The event organizers invite individuals to help them by making donations of clothing and toiletry items for distribution during the times the soup kitchen is open.
Donations are accepted at Aycock Rec Center, Exquisite Kutz Barber Shop (beside Southern Charm on Garnett Street) and East Side Barber Shop on Vicksboro Road.
“Think about being a blessing to somebody,” Turrentine said.
Davis Chapel Baptist Church is located at 742 N. Chestnut St.
