Members of the Birmingham City Council, their staff and volunteers from God’s Church spent Saturday before Christmas feeding those less fortunate at the Community Kitchens of Birmingham, Woodlawn location.
The councilors, staff and volunteers prepared and served over 100 meals for people who would otherwise have no warm meal during the holidays. The menu included meat loaf, yams, black-eyed peas, corn, cornbread and dessert.
The Community Kitchens Woodlawn location is located inside the Grace Episcopal Church on 1st Avenue North. Community Kitchens is a nonprofit that provides free meals daily and have done so since 1980.
The opportunity was organized by the council staff who believed volunteering at the kitchen and serving with their coworkers alongside the councilors was the best way to bring in the Christmas holiday.
