The Gathering Place - Soup Kitchen

The Gathering Place is a soup kitchen open to the public that started over 10 years ago by a St. Cecilia’s parishioner along with a few other church’s youth group leaders as an ecumenical community effort. Every week, one church hosts the meal. The ministry has grown from 10 or 15 people served each week to over 85 in the last decade. St. Cecilia’s Church funds the meal expenses planned, purchased, prepared, and served by volunteer members of our church. We gather to cook a hearty meal around 4pm in the well-equipped kitchen at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Stanwood. St. Cecilia’s Church cooks every other month – about 7 times per year - typically on the second Thursday of the month. Dinner is served from 5:30-6:30.
