Today many people are without transportation and they cannot get to Food Banks for help. The Branchburg Rotary is bridging the gap between those who can get to a facility for help and those who can’t by opening a Soup Kitchen in a place in Bound Brook that is an easy walk for most people. We’ve been able to tie the soup kitchen to other towns in the county by asking volunteers to pick-up food and bring it to those in need. We have also started a new food pantry to distribute fresh food for our community members as well.
The "Not Just Soup kitchen" cannot make a major impact on those individuals without financial help from the community. Finding families that need the food is easy. Funding a project of this size is a major undertaking.
