DILWORTH NEIGHBORHOOD SOUP KITCHEN

What a wonderful experience having lunch at The Soup Kitchen in Dilworth last week. It felt so good to be there we didn’t want to leave. There is something about being in the presence of loving people giving to lovely people that makes your heart sing. Lanny greeted us at the door and Diane Mason, who was in charge that day, showed us around and filled us in on how it works The Soup Kitchen feeds 60 to 80 folks twice a week on Monday and Wednesday from 11:30a till 12:30p. With a count of 27 volunteers to serve and be of service it is a busy hour for the Church. The day we went they were serving potato soup, chicken gumbo, shepherd’s pie, sandwiches, desserts and wonderful tea. We had the Shepherd’s pie and Gumbo, home made right there in the kitchen yum. Donations and contributions come in from all over. Belle Acres on South Boulevard bring by large bags of potatoes and gallons of tea every week, Home Health Market on South and Trader Joe’s and RBC Bank are big on giving. I spoke with Valorie who had just had surgery and she was so glad to be there she said the food was always great. Randy who shared he loved coming there it made him remember what it was like to have a home. Randy has lived out of his truck for two years. He especially appreciates the real dishes and utensils, and the volunteers are so warm and friendly. Volunteers are from all over, Joel is from Hankins and Whittington Funeral Home, Brent is from CVS a pharmacist, Diane is a professional photographer and the head Chef in charge. Decadent Desserts donates yummy desserts and it’s not uncommon for folks to stop by and drop off food for the pantry and prepared food because they saw the sign out front. We have an innate desire to be of service, here is your chance. Everyone and all donations are welcome.

What a fabulous time we had at 131 Main in Dilworth on the patio. JC Thomas Marketing and Communications, owners of theMythbusted.com sponsored the event. The idea being, to bust the myth that parking was difficult, which we found to be plentiful for that area of Dilworth. Check it out the findings on their website. We were there having complimentary cocktails and yummy appetizers rubbing elbows with a lot of pretty people. We sat with two gorgeous models from Carolina Talent and met other professionals and folks involved in the talent and entertainment industry. 131 Main’s menu consists of delectable starters, including seared scallops my favorite, entrees include, grilled trout, salmon, prime rib and much more, salads, sandwiches and fabulous desserts. The Restaurant is beautiful inside a little different than when it was Patou’s.
