Soup Run

Every night at 8 o’clock, those in need gather around a table on a car park in Clacton for soup, hot drinks, sandwiches, biscuits, crisps and sometimes fruit.

Members of churches in Clacton and Frinton staff the “Soup Run”; it's St Mary’s turn every Tuesday. Church members are on a rota to help or to provide sandwiches. Sometimes people provide other goodies, such as mince pies at Christmas.

The visitors are often lonely people, grateful for a mug of soup and a meeting place where they can see a friendly face, or find someone to listen to them.

Any donations are welcome, including cash to buy fruit and soft drinks. Cash or appropriate food can be left at the Church Office - or in the marked bin at the back of the church.
