I live near Detroit, Michigan and was visiting a friend in LA. We prepared a hardy lunch of lentil soup, salad, toasted bagels and chocolate milk. Doing a variety of tasks throughout the morning and circulating among the guests in the garden during lunch gave me a first look at the ministry of the soup kitchen. A visiting group from Seattle was doing pedicures. The presence of Dorthy Day could be felt in the camaradie of the volunteers. The picture of Fr. Dan Berrigan which greets volunteers reminded me of his joyful witness to the incarnation of peace and love in our troubled world. Thank you Catholic workers! You truly labor in the Lord's vineyard.

It's one of the only places where I can come in unannounced, as long as I'm on time, and help out anyway I can. The Hippie Kitchen serves hundreds of people every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday based on the generous donations of the community and city. I'm grateful that there is a place like this in existence and hopefully I can come in again and help out one of these Saturdays. May all the Catholic Workers be blessed and loved I absolutely adore this soup kitchen. It’s one of the only places where I can come in unannounced, as long as I’m on time, and help out anyway I can.

It left an impact on my life. A small group of started a program, Many Meals of Camarillo, in July 2009, serving a hot meal for 31 people. We are now serving over 100. They are now mostly regulars and families in need. We also have a free clothes give-a-way every three months. If you want to learn more about us go to manymealsofcamarillo.org.

I just wanted to take the time to express my heart felt thanks and appreciation for all your service to so many needy people. Such love and compassion is so hard to come by in the world today. Truly, your loyalty and dedication to the easing of suffering is exemplary and heart-warming. More than any facility in or around the Skid Row area, the Hippie Kitchen is by far, the most recommended place to eat. You fine people go out of your way to cook, transport and lovingly serve an incredible amount of food, not to mention all of the others service to you provide us. This is all things that you do not have to do, but do it anyway. It saddens me sometimes, that some people don’t even appreciation what you do for them, but you faithfully do your part. A lot of us homeless people however count your organization as a true blessing. I know that I speak for many when I say “Thank You”.

Everyone at the Kitchen was friendly and made us feel very welcomed. I will definitely come back within a month to volunteer with friends. I am a teacher and the Student Council moderator at St. Pius X school in Santa Fe Springs. I am always looking for for something for my students to get involved in. Unfortunately, my students are too young to work in the Kitchen, but if you need donations (can goods, blankets, jackets...), please do not hesitate to contact me.
