Lesley Teale (member), Nic Little (President of Forbes Evening CWA Branch) and Lorraine Everest (member), will all be involved in the preparation for the upcoming walk-in soup and slice kitchen.
The first winter walk-in soup kitchen presented by the Evening Branch of CWA was received favourably by patrons and financially successful with $235 raised from soup sales. It was such a success that patrons requested the event be repeated, so a soup and slice walk-in kitchen has been organised for Wednesday, 6 August.
It was wonderful to see steady stream of patrons enjoy a bowl of soup and beverage over much chatter with known or new faces from our Forbes community. There was much warmth felt within the hall not only from the warm soup but also a friendly welcome and happy atmosphere.
The next walk-in soup and slice kitchen is to be held on Wednesday 6 August, 12pm at the CWA Hall in Lachlan Street, Forbes. The cost will be $10 per head, this will include: a bowl of soup of your choice with a bread roll, finishing with a beverage served with a home created slice or biscuit prepared by the CWA Evening Branch members.
The two most requested soup varieties from the July Kitchen, pumpkin plus potato, bacon and corn chowder will be repeated, along with several different varieties. This can also be prepared and sold as a takeaway serve. Funds raised from sales will be utilised by the Forbes Evening Branch to support further causes in our community.
