Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen: Supper is served for 40-80+ people every evening. Local community and church groups cook and deliver the meals at the soup kitchen. About half of those served are residents of the Bristol Lodge Shelters for men and women. The Rotary Club of Weston and Wayland is one of these groups that provides warm and hearty meals to those in need. Our schedule is every 3rd Thursday of the month all year long.
We have a regular recipe of ziti and meatballs and instructions that make shopping and cooking very easy. You can make it more fun by sharing the tasks (shopping, cooking, delivery) with another Rotarian or friend. Deliver to their new location at Christ Church Episcopal at 750 Main Street, Waltham, by 3:00 pm.
