Putnam Community Action Partnership (CAP), a local not-for-profit organization dedicated to
providing services to Putnam County’s low-income community members, is excited to announce
the expansion of its soup kitchen program during the winter months. Starting December 1st, the
soup kitchen will now be open on Fridays, in addition to Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays
from 12:00 – 1:00 pm at the First Baptist Church. through the month of April.
This expansion is made possible by the generous support of the Southeast Rotary Club, whose
contribution allows Putnam CAP to enhance its capacity and reach even more individuals in
need. The added day of service will help provide hundreds of additional meals to the local
community, ensuring that no one has to go without a warm meal.
"We are deeply grateful for the Southeast Rotary Club’s commitment to fighting hunger and
supporting our mission," said Marisa O’Leary, Director of Putnam CAP. "This partnership
allows us to significantly increase our impact and provide much-needed relief to those who need
it most. We believe that everyone deserves access to healthy, nutritious food, and this expansion
is a critical step in achieving that goal."
Since its founding, Putnam CAP has been dedicated to addressing hunger in the community,
offering free meals to individuals and families, no questions asked. The soup kitchen serves
approximately 300 meals each week, and with the added day, the organization anticipates an
additional 100 meals will be served weekly.
The Southeast Rotary Club, known for its community-oriented initiatives, is a valued supporter
of local programs that make a tangible difference in people's lives. Their partnership with
Putnam CAP will help ensure that the community’s most vulnerable are not overlooked.
“The Southeast Rotary Club is proud to support the work of Putnam CAP and help extend its
reach to even more individuals who are struggling to make ends meet,” said Barbara Evans,
President of Southeast Rotary Club. “This initiative reflects our commitment to serving those in
need and making a positive impact in our community.”
