Always there when people need them! Gov. Kitzhaber agrees.

The Calvary Baptist Soup Kitchen in Newport was nominated by RSVP and has been selected as a regional winner for the 2014 Governor’s Awards! They will be honored at a luncheon in Salem on April 24th. As a regional winner, Calvary Baptist Soup Kitchen was selected over other non-profit organizations throughout Benton, Coos, Douglas, Lane, Lincoln, and Linn Counties! Incredible work! They are so deserving of this award! With just 7 volunteers, the Calvary Baptist Soup Kitchen served 5,000 meals last year! The soup kitchen has been running since 1985. These amazing volunteers are Fredda, Garry, Barbara L, Shellie, James, Allan, and Barbara B. RSVP (retired and senior volunteer program) is so proud of the amazing and selfless work these volunteers do. They are truly amazing!
