Above we see a Fordham student with a Thorpe child on a trip to the Statue of liberty. GLWD volunteers deliver meals once a week for one hour. This past year GLWD volunteers have increased their client number to eleven a day, and have also achieved their highest number of volunteers, 37. The picture above captures a GLWD get-together where volunteers share their experiences. Soup Kitchen and Shelter is located across from Fordham on Webster Avenue.
Volunteers work in the kitchen where they prepare and serve noontime meals.
By Meghan Miller FC '98. Of the various activities I am involved with, I find working in Tolentine soup kitchen to be one of the most fulfilling. Every Tuesday two of us walk up Fordham Rd. I see Tolentine as a beacon of hope beckoning to all who are weary to come and take refuge in it. Inside, there is always a bustle of activity.
