Editor’s note: The Daily Reporter is partnering with the Hancock County Community Foundation to highlight local nonprofit organizations in the community, what they offer and how they could enhance their services through additional funding from Match Day.
Featured Match Day participant: Kenneth Butler Memorial Soup Kitchen
Executive director: Jill Ebbert
Mission: To serve the sheep of Jesus Christ regardless of their race, religion, gender, orientation, medical diagnosis, mental capacity or history by providing their immediate need for nutritious meals.
Community offerings: The kitchen serves anyone in need of a meal without questions or judgment, making Hancock County a better place primarily by providing hot, nutritious food to anyone. In addition, the kitchen gives patrons a secure setting and the dignity and respect they deserve. The hope is to help them take the first step to lifestyle changes by increasing their self respect and decreasing their hopelessness through nourishment and compassion.
