SOUP KITCHEN OUTREACH INFORMATION
Tylersville Road Christian Church
TRCC provides volunteer opportunities to serve Cincinnati’s Longest Running Soup Kitchens.
Here is how you can become involved to help.
Over-The Rhine & Walnut Hills Soup Kitchens Newsletter
OVER-THE-RHINE KITCHEN
Every 4th Saturday of the month members of TRCC prepare and serve meals for the Over- The- Rhine Soup Kitchen
(OTRK), Cincinnati’s longest operating soup kitchen. We are a part of an ongoing, critically necessary mission in
assisting 39 other Christian and Jewish congregations in sponsoring 8,500 hot meals per month at the Over-The-Rhine
and Walnut Hills Soup Kitchens. Our work helps insure that area low income, homeless, and working poor people are
provided at least one hot meal every day of the year. On our assigned day we will prepare and serve hot lunches for
about 300 people.
This is the way it works. On the 4th Saturday of every month, volunteers prepare and serve a hot, home- cooked
meal. We start cooking at 9:00 am, and serve from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm. We need a minimum of 8 volunteers to
work each meal we serve. The TRCC Outreach Fund underwrites the costs.
