The Warm Welcome Kitchen has voted to extend its season.
The kitchen’s board met Monday night and decided that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they should continue with their suppers for at least another month. Their season was slated to end April 30, but now they will operate until at least the end of May.
The kitchen has been serving meals that people take home and prepare on Tuesday and Thursday nights since March 17. Meals are served out of the Salvation Army’s food bank.
“Because of the pandemic, many people are out of work and may be having a hard time financially,” said kitchen committee chair Wendy Godfrey.
The committee will decide at their meeting on May 25 whether to continue into June.
“This will depend on what happens with the pandemic. If things are headed back to normal we will end at the end of May but if we see a need we will consider continuing for June.”
