After Wednesday June 24, 2009 the Soup Kitchen will close for Wednesday meals and will re- open on September 2, 2009. Vincent Place would like to extend their sincere thank you to all volunteers that have made these meals possible and helping meet the needs of our clientele in our community. Your assistance and support are greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you in September. Enjoy your summer!

Saturday Soup Kitchen will remain open throughout the summer.
