The Bronx’s St. Mary’s Church warmed today as the NYC Soup Kitchen Drive fed 2,000. Over 1,000 meals—stew, bread—served; a Harlem chef’s recipe won X’s 6,000 shares. Free blankets—500 given—kept folks cozy. Volunteers—200 strong—sang; 44°F sun broke through. NYC’s heart—community cares.
Organizer Tasha Lee, 40, led 30 teams—pots simmered fast. A Queens pastor’s prayer—300 bowed heads—moved hearts; unity real. Local grocers donated 1,000 pounds—carrots, beef fresh. New heaters—eco-smart—kept hall warm. St. Mary’s vibe—NYC’s giving soul.
It’s not perfect—lines hit 25 minutes; bowls ran low. Some left hungry—supplies stretched. Still, 1K meals, 2K smiles—drive’s a hit. Post-event, Grand Concourse buzzed—hope talk flowed. Weekly now—NYC feeds.
Lee’s 40—service hero? Chef’s 35—flavor king. Bronx ate; NYC glowed. Soup Drive—spoon on.
