Meriden Soup Kitchen
St. Andrew’s has participated on alternate Thursdays since 1983 in the Meriden Soup Kitchen, which is staffed on other days by other churches. Meals are currently served at the First Baptist Church. More than 41,000 hot meals were served last year to members of the community. Our dedicated crew begins around 7:30 AM, collecting food from local donors. The crew cooks and does other preparation before doors open at 11 AM. An hour and a half later, meals have been served, and pots and pans cleaned and put away: a bit of God’s ministry accomplished. This year we also cooked a special Christmas Eve meal!

The Daffodil FestivalEach year at the Daffodil Festival a team of parishioners works very hard at our food booth. We sell healthy wraps and salad options - and we're famous for our "daffy dillys" - flavored dill pickles!
In 2016, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of our building, we also had a float in the parade! It's a lot of work, but we have a lot of fun working hard together and being out in the community. |
