St. James Healthcare - Food Donation Program

What is it?

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, St. James Healthcare provides soup for the "Help the Homeless - We Deliver" program, which serves sack lunches prepared by local volunteers and organizations. St. James chefs use surplus food from the kitchen and Café to create hearty soup to fill two large insulated soup containers on their scheduled days. St. James also sends surplus food to the Butte Rescue Mission. In addition to leftover roasts and entrees, they send surplus sweets from catered events.

Who is it for?

Recipients of food from the "Help the Homeless - We Deliver" program and Butte Rescue Mission.

Why do they do it?

This program helps St. James meet its mission by caring for the community's hungry and homeless population.

Impact

This program tremendously benefits the community by ensuring that the growing number of area homeless receives nutritious meals on a regular basis, as well as by helping lower monthly food costs for other community agencies serving the homeless.
