White Plains Soup Kitchen Receives 25,000 Cans of Food

The (GCCC) Soup Kitchen received a donation of 25,000 cans of food courtesy of Archbishop Stepinac High School and their Souper Bowl food drive.

Roxanne Calvello, teacher and science chair at the school organized the drive and challenged the school’s 650 students to collect a total of 50,000 food cans, almost 80 cans per student.  Students rose to the challenge and were rewarded with a day off school on the Monday following the Super Bowl. 

Donated cans were split between the GCCC Soup Kitchen, the largest soup  kitchen in White Plains, and  the Don Bosco Community Center in Port Chester which operates a soup kitchen and food pantry.
