Thanks to the volunteers!

Do the children in Jamaica attend school all year round? Is breakfast served to them if school is not in session? What about weekends?

I guess the real question is, "What is the soup kitchen's hours of operation (breakfast and lunch) and what time can volunteers be there to help?"

From a previous post:

The Kitchen is on Nompriel road (the road to Sav) and is just beyond the taxi park and before you get to Sweet Spice--left side of the road. Right now we have a lot of school supplies. How about getting some inexpensive flip-flops. We cannot keep them around. People need footware all the time. Or a couple pair of shoes for school, sizes around 8, 9, 10. Or some used clothing if you have room in the luggage or new clothes--maybe for kids. We would love to have you help at the Kitchen. We are open Mon - Fri and best time to be there is 11:30 to about 1:00. If you are an early bird you can get there about 6:30 or 7:00 and help get breakfast ready for the children--we feed about 40 of them on their way to school.

We are ecstatic that the food processor was donated! Ms Pearl should be absolutely delighted. Thank you so much Johnathon, Kattie, Julie, and Randy.

No problem mon. Mrs pearl had us clean and sweep the entire stock room. They showed us how to cook breadfruit and gave us a plate to eat. It was a very different experience that we hope to do again when we come back to negril next year. The kitchen is almost across the street from the police station if you want to go. I will post pictures when I get home on the 16th.

Weathermom & Mi Lady are correct with the hours of operation and days of the week, thank you for responding It's a team effort and we are St. Anthony's Kitchen appreciate ANY type of help!

As Fr. Jim said earlier in this thread, we are still in need of back packs for the upcoming school year. Most schools are finished by the end of June and resume again the first week of September.

Blessings to all who help!
