I had a great time during Souper Stars. Me and the rest of the class hope you can come back and see us next year. The best part about was you showing me that eating healthy is a big part of our lives."

Dear Community Kitchen
Want to say thank-you for the help from Community Kitchen. Have enjoyed fresh fruit and vegetables on occasion that we would hesitate to buy due to high price, or even other specialty foods.
Thank you and God Bless Sincerely,

We are seniors who receive AB benefits. We are so blessed with the food we receive with the Spinz-A-Round program. We love a good variety of things to help us cook and eat much more healthy. Using this program and the Good Food Box where we purchase the large box gives us choice to prepare healthy meals. In our home you don’t normally find snack foods. Thank you Marilyn and staff for your efforts and continue to help those on minimum income. It is so much appreciated.

DEAR SOUPER STARS
The stuffies and treats were really thoughtfull and the funny part was when you guys showed me how to use a knife and then 3 weeks later I cut myself (not using your guy’s way). So thank you very, very much and I will use all the things you showed me for the future.

TO SPINZ-A-ROUND PROGRAM
We would like to say Thank-you for the box of food we get each week. It is very much appreciated the food that we get, since I am on income support and receive $713.00 a month and my rent has now gone up to $925.00. Without this program I would not be eating.

I would like to say thank you for your dedication into that program. The ‘Food Box’ has been a blessing to me and my family. It has provided fresh vegetables and fruits which we could not have provided to the children. Their health has been improving and we hope that they will benefit from the ‘Food Box’ in the future. Again thanks again for all the work you are doing for all of us.
Yours truly,

Thank you Lindsay!
My son recently took part in your Souper Stars program at Huntington Hills Elementary School. I just wanted to say THANK YOU!! All the speeches I have given him on making better snacking choices finally hit home with your help! Since you‘ve been at his school, he has been reaching for fruit, granola bars, sandwiches, and other healthy snacks when he gets home from school instead of cookies or chips. It‘s great for me, too... I haven‘t seen the fruit go bad in the fridge... He‘s been eating it! Again, thank you, and keep up the fantastic work! :)’

THANKs FROM A STUDENT
Thank you Souper Stars! I learned that I should separate the meat from the veggies and others. Also when we put the meat in the fridge it should be placed on the bottem of the fridge in case it leaks. I learned the 4 food groups like: dairy, grain, meat and alternative, fruits and vegetables. Thank you for teaching me all this and thanks for the sub sandwich and the treats and gifts at the end. I will miss you a lot!!! Thanks again.
Sincerely,

We are all truly thankful
We had a very good and organized cook and came away with 19 wonderful recipes to fill our freezers. I chose a lot of comfort food and everyone was really pleased.
We are all truly thankful for the wonderful extra which were given to us and as always, the wonderful kitchen in which to cook. Some of our shorter members were gleeful at the new stoves and we taller ones, just smiled and enjoyed their happiness!
We wish everyone at CK a wonderful week, we know these are trying times in so many ways for so many people. May your mental health initiative be blessed as it forges ahead.
DEAR MARILYN
On behalf of my wife and myself, I would like to express my thanks to you and the programs you facilitate. We have had the opportunity to benefit from both Community Kitchens cooking program as well as Spinz Around.Through the busy times the cooking in advance program has saved us tons of time in the kitchen pre-cooking meals that we have enjoyed on the busier, and more hectic days. Then as I have endured temporary blindness and surgeries over the last five years to correct this we have had help through the Spinz Around Program. This was awesome as I was self employed and was unable to obtain help through normal channels. Both programs are appreciated and non invasive and therefore a fantastic benefit to people like me. The fact that it is operated by volunteers is just one more reason to truly understand the need and offer to volunteer and give back. Like a pay it forward in reverse. I pray that this ministry will always be there for the unfortunate times in ones life when welfare isn’t an option. We have been helped through four surgeries and cannot express enough just how beneficial this program really is.
Thank you once again for all the hard work you put into this.
My wife is an executive assistant and I graduated from business administration and have been self employed for 22 years. I am grateful for all the help we have received and appreciate the hard work all the volunteers do.
