Since 1980 the Soup Kitchen was a ministry of St. Stephen's and was supported by volunteers from many other churches throughout the county, including men and women from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. Corporate and local businesses donated food and money in order to sustain the operation through the years to feed the hungry.
