#1TravelMom Posted May 23, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Just a suggestion if you are spending extra time in NYC before or after a sailing. Give 3 hours of your time. Every time we visit or cruise out of NYC, we remind our children how blessed we are to have all the wonderful travel experiences we've shared. There is a soup kitchen just a few blocks west of Midtown. If you can scoop food onto a tray and pour beverages - you're qualified. It's very simple to volunteer and you even get a complimentary lunch with the other volunteers!(Not many free lunches in NYC). We've met many wonderful people and find it a rewarding time for our family. PS: I have no affiliation with this charity, we just think it's a great cause.

Jane110 Posted May 23, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2006 There is a soup kitchen just a few blocks west of Midtown. I think that's a lovely and charitable thought. However, with your information, I don't think anyone could find the place. I wouldn't be able to find it given your directions and I've lived here all my life. Midtown is anywhere between about 40th and 60th streets, from about Lexington to 8th avenues. Could you provide a name and/or an address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1TravelMom Posted May 23, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I'd be glad to pass the info along. I wasn't sure if I am allowed to give such info unless someone asked???(not sure of all the posting rules) The Soup Kitchen is located at The Holy Apostles Episcopal Church at 9th Avenue & 28th Street. Just email Clyde to let him know you're coming. clyde@holyapostlesnyc.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
