| Any comments about your selections you would like to share with the student philanthropists? | |
| The Cathedral Kitchen had its beginning during the Great Depression, when the cathedral parish handed out peanut butter sandwiches to those in need. Eventually these offerings grew to include coffee and donuts, and eventually a weekly dinner. During the 1980s, the operation moved into the vacant cathedral elementary school building and offerings grew to include a daily meal and food pantry. Currently, the Cathedral Kitchen serves 3,200 meals and provides food pantry items to 1,080 clients each month. | |
