The soup kitchen in Portage la Prairie is in need of your help.

The kitchen serves 40-50 people per day, and they're short since two people left the program at the end of December.

Coordinator Shelly Burton notes they've been looking for someone since the beginning of January.

"We need a coordinator." She adds, " We want the soup kitchen to stay viable in Portage la Prairie, there's a huge need for it. This is a volunteer position, and not a paid position. There's a lot of duties, and there are letters that need to be written. We need to apply for funding, and I seem to be ok running the soup kitchen, but there's lots of other stuff that needs to be done."

If you want to help, call Burton. Contact information at portageonline, or the portagelive app.
