A number of ladies from the church run the soup kitchen on a weekly basis throughout the year, providing a hot meal for those who otherwise wouldn\u2019t have one. At the beginning of December club members, led by Soroptimist Carole Holdcroft, join them to provide a three course Christmas Lunch and tea and mince pies which is partly funded by the Soroptimist club.<\/p>\n<p>This year was no exception \u2013 Carole and several other club members prepared, cooked and served a meal complete with Christmas Crackers and all the trimmings to over 50 people. So many who joined in with the Christmas Lunch made a point of thanking the Soroptimists who had thoroughly enjoyed the heat of the kitchen for the day. The clean plates were the proof that everyone thought the meal was just great!<\/p>\n<p>Soroptimists also support women internationally and each year Cannock members support the International President&#8217;s December 10th Appeal which this year is Educate to Lead: Nepal. The appeal harnesses the power and generosity of Soroptimists all over the world in support of women and girls in Nepal, as they take steps to rebuild their lives, following the devastating earthquakes of April 25 and May 12, 2015. The<br \/>\nfocus within Nepal will be on education and leadership. Cannock club members make donations to the appeal in lieu of sending each other Christmas Cards &#8211; the amount raised by them this year stands at \u00a3180.00 at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2016\/01\/soup-kitchen-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-847\" src=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2016\/01\/soup-kitchen-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"soup kitchen 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2016\/01\/soup-kitchen-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2016\/01\/soup-kitchen-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2016\/01\/soup-kitchen-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-848\" src=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2016\/01\/soup-kitchen-2-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"soup kitchen 2\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2016\/01\/soup-kitchen-2-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2016\/01\/soup-kitchen-2.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPhotos attached: Cannock Soroptimists enjoying the heat of the kitchen!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each Christmas, SI of Cannock and District get involved in several projects to support others&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":204,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Soup Kitchen Christmas Meal | News | Blog | Events | SI Cannock and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Cannock and District : Blog &amp; News : Soup Kitchen Christmas Meal : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Cannock and District .
