Could this be you? Soup Run revival plans underway
Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership is planning to revive the MK Soup Run, feeding the homeless and those in need.
Sharron Marland, SEP Leadership Team joint lay chair, said: “We had to stop this during Covid and have recently been given the go ahead from Milton Keynes Council to begin again. 
“I am suggesting, if we have enough volunteers, that we begin at the beginning of October, to run on Monday and Tuesday evenings only, from 5 to 8pm.
“We would need at least four volunteers each evening and last time this ran, the rota ran over a three week period because we had so many helpers, meaning I did it once every three weeks.”
The tasks involved are; maintaining a WhatsApp group, planning rotas, stocking food cupboards, meeting at Christ Church, Stantonbury, to prepare soup, hot chocolate, hot water for tea and coffee, preparing thermos flasks, picking up food from Pret, Greggs, and anywhere that will give us their spare food.
Volunteers would need to use their cars to transport 2 tables and the food and drink to a spot outside Argos and Marks and Spencer’s (or anywhere else in central MK seen as a place where the homeless congregate but not the train station) and returning items to Christ Church.
“If you could find at least 3 hours once every 3 weeks, please get in touch with me, via the SEP’s admin secretary, Helen Eaton, by email at: sburyepadm@gmail.com if you don’t have my contact details.
“I need to know as early as you can please, so that I know this is possible.
“The Soup Run is very rewarding and the people who come for food and drink are, mostly, extremely appreciative of the support. Others are very quiet, pick up food and drink and simply walk off.”
