September 25, 2023 weekly newsletter

Good morning everyone. Rainy days and Mondays, right? At least this past weekend we were actually able to finish up the pantry before the rain really got going :-) I've got a lot to tell you about this week, and I'm also going to send our updated list in a separate mailing as soon as this one goes out. But before I get into that list, I need to let you know what events are coming up. Please remember that these events are open to everyone. There are no fees so that anyone is able to participate, and we have plenty of space thanks to the generosity of Living Water Fellowship! We have Dr Lydia McClure coming to do a workshop on basic nutrition. Are you confused by all the competing claims of trendy diets, and are you skeptical about adding more supplements to your ever-increasing list of must-haves for health? Dr Lydia will cut through all the nonsense that is only designed to drain our wallets, and will show us how simple it can be to get everything that our body needs each day.....

Quick + easy nutrition workshop!

  We are looking forward to a visit with our favorite local doctor, Dr Lydia McClure!! She is going to walk us through how easy it can be to hit all the nutrition high points...quickly, easily, and on budget! Yes, refreshments will be served (but they will probably be healthy!) 😁 Stone Soup Kitchen is located at 41 Littleton Road, Ayer MA 01432 Image: Canva

YES, THERE IS ROOM AT THE INN!!

  I just got off the phone with Brittany Beaudry, our wonderful social worker who is coordinating the care of everyone, and she had some really great news for all of us. First of all, only a few people who have been living at the Inn longer term have left, for various reasons. The rest have been able to stay...there truly was room at the Inn! So don't believe for one more moment that anyone's needs are being ignored over there. Brittany is working with all of them, and is making appointments with all of the current resident families that need any help. That's what she was in the process of doing when she made the discovery of what the State was doing. She will also make sure that they know about food help that we can provide for them if they want it. As for the immigrants, they will be moving in gradually. They will not need food from us, but they will need household items, clothing, etc, especially baby things. Brittany will have a list, hopefully by the end of...

September 18, 2023 weekly newsletter

Good morning!  This is Max, our most satisfied pantry guest, aka "Tina's dog"! Max inspired Tina to keep dog biscuits on hand in the pantry, and we've been told that he starts bouncing with excitement and drooling before his actual owner even turns into the parking lot (hence the towel!). The most important thing to know about Max, though, is that his current family rescued him after he lost his family in Puerto Rico during one of the hurricanes. We have the best pantry guests...many of them are also involved in serving others, paying it forward, and attempting to make the world a better place in any way they can. We are so honored every week to be able to help those who reach out to us, with the help of wonderful people like all of you! I want to give you all the most up to date information that we have at Stone Soup Kitchen about the influx of immigrants in Ayer. Probably not all of you know about this, and honestly, there is a LOT of misinformation floating ...
