This Friday will be the last day for the community soup kitchen at First United Methodist Church of Fountain until COVID-19 restrictions ease.

“After much discussion and with great sadness we will temporarily close our soup kitchen as of June 27. Our last meal will be June 26,” volunteer Ann Allen said. “Considering the state and local status of the pandemic and its guidelines, along with our church conference guidelines, it seems wise to discontinue our meal ministry until we can serve meals in a less restrictive environment while adhering to safe practices. We look forward to returning to this community outreach opportunity when it is safe to do so. Thank you for understanding.”

This Friday’s meal can be picked up from 2-4 p.m. at the church, 1003 N. Santa Fe Ave.
