Abstract
Every now and then a group of students from the college chapel would go downtown and help out in the soup kitchen. The kitchen was started by the local Catholic Worker community and held in the basement of a rundown church in one of the city’s less savory neighborhoods. One of its directors was a friend of the chapel, and the rest of the congregation wanted to support her work.
