Siouxland Soup Kitchen: Serving with Heart (and 15 gallons of lemonade!)

What does it take to feed 200 people every night? On this episode of Sustainable Steps, Jacob and Tami talk with Lyn Kluender, Executive Director of the Siouxland Soup Kitchen in Sioux City. Today, the Soup Kitchen isn't just serving the homeless, but many working families, seniors, and kids. In this episode, we'll learn: How Hunger Has Changed: Homeless individuals now make up less than half of the kitchen's guests. You Have the Power: The Soup Kitchen gets zero city, state, or federal funding — each meal served is paid for and provided by local donations. Zero Food Waste: How leftover catering from a graduation party or extra veggies from your summer garden can feed the community. Volunteering is Simple: It takes 10 people a day to keep things running, and absolutely no kitchen or cooking skills are required. If you're interested in dropping off food, that can be done Monday – Friday from 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM at 717 West 7th St. in Sioux City.
