Soup Kitchen Faces Eviction as Church Doubles Rent, Cuts Hours
The Wildwood Soup Kitchen, a volunteer-run non-profit providing over 16,000 meals monthly, is facing eviction from its longtime location at the First Presbyterian Church of Wildwood. The church offered the soup kitchen the options of reducing space and time while paying more or vacating the premises. Facing a December deadline, the organization is actively fundraising to secure a new building, but the $1.5 million price tag presents a significant challenge. The organization hopes to delay the eviction and continue serving the community through the holidays.
