A SUSTAINABLE SOUP KITCHEN

Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen is New York's largest soup kitchen. It serves 1,000 nutritious, sustainable meals, every weekday between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., under the socially conscious banner of "Farm-to-Tray." Two cooks (and 1 prep cook) make all the food and do it for less than $2 per meal. More than 24,000 apples are handed out per week and 100 dozen whole grain rolls are served daily. The kitchen’s mandate is to serve fresh fruit and vegetables every day and to source as many local products as possible, and over the last three years director Michael Ottley has been able to cut all processed food from the menus. According to Mr. Ottley, "for some of our guests, this is their only meal and it needs to be healthy and nutritious."
