Capron Elementary School to have first county soup kitchen | Belvidere Daily Republican

 

A point in time survey on Feb. 23 showed 177 homeless people in the county, with the biggest percentage in Capron.

The plan is to have the first soup kitchen in operation at Capron Elementary the first Tuesday after the 2012-13 school year ends. It would be open from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays to start, with the possibility of adding Saturdays at some point in the future.

After learning about the availability of Capron Elementary, Loveridge checked with Linda Clark, executive director of the Belvidere/Boone County Food Pantry, about providing some of the groceries. She immediately agreed to help.

Cox went on by saying, “Bill Pysson, I don’t understand him at all.” He was referring to the county board member who was in the audience and who has said he, too, opposes the increase.

Then Cox turned to health board member Ron Wait, who’s also on the county board, and said, “I hope you will vote for it.”
