What a scare of a fire 🔥 we had this morning at our East Boston Community Soup Kitchen (EBCSK) - Our Saviour's Lutheran Church. As we were preparing breakfast for our unhoused neighbors, the electric stove sparked and caused a small fire from the oven. Thanks to the quick thinking of our EBCSK's team, the flames were quickly contained, the 911 emergency help was called, and—praise God—no one was hurt and our church's building is safe.🙏🏽💜 Once the smoke cleared, we gathered in a circle in the kitchen area to pray and give thanks to God for his protection over us and our church home.🙏🏽Without missing a beat, we resumed serving breakfast—this time without the stove. Our clients kept asking if we were still going to serve them food and our answer was, yes if we are safe to go back inside then we will definitely serve them breakfast. They seemed worried. But soon after, everything was fine. We played bingo.😊 For lunch, we were blessed to serve a delicious hot meal in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month—tacos prepared by El Pueblo Viejo Restaurant on 170 Marion St, East Boston MA, which were a big hit! We also served the always- delicious andvpopular beef and vegetable soup, lovingly prepared and donated by our very own Channel Fish and Empower East Boston team. Thank you to everyone who showed us so much kindness today.💜🙏🏽 That said, we are now in urgent need of a commercial stove so we can continue preparing meals for our community next week.

We are deeply grateful for any support. https://www.ebcsk.org/donate And despite the scare, this week has brought blessings too, our Monday food distribution was a success, serving several hundred families with much-needed groceries.💜🌻 A tremendous thank you to the amazing students from the East Boston Central Catholic School - ebccs for coming to give their all to make the day of food distribution be a great day! Thank you!💜 From all of us at EBCSK: thank you for your continued kindness, and support. Together, we are making a difference.💜🌻🔥 Hairdressers: Domingo Antonio Noesi Happy Barber Shop, 333 Meridian St, East Boston, MA Gladis Mercedes Ramirez Illusions Hair Salon, 17 Meridian St, East Boston, MA Eduardo Alcantara The Best Cut Barbershop 955 Main St, Weymouth, MA 02190 Jose Santiago Iraheta Carillo Trainee #everyonefollowers #everyone #HispanicHeritageMonth (fb)
