TOP PHOTO: A statue of Christ as a beggar was dedicated to the people of Mother Marianne’s West Side Kitchen in 2017 at the soup kitchen’s 9th anniversary celebration. Canadian sculptor Timothy P. Schmalz titled the sculpture, “When I was hungry and thirsty.”

“We try to see the image of Christ in the people we serve.”– a volunteer.

“It goes beyond feeding the hungry. We’ve become a place of warmth and welcome.” — director.
