This week, FOX Sports Ohio employees volunteered at Walnut Hills Kitchen in Cincinnati, Ohio. They spent the afternoon doing everything from cutting and preparing food to serving meals to guests and cleaning up.
Our team worked with a few members of a local youth group and some other volunteers who are there regularly.
Father Thomas Bokenkotter, founder of the Over-The-Rhine Kitchen, the Oldest Soup Kitchen in Cincinnati, as well as the Walnut Hills Kitchen and the Walnut Hills Pantry, opened the kitchen to provide guests with nutritious hot meals in a clean, kind and welcoming environment.
Their mission statement is “To help alleviate hunger in our community by feeding the poor in an environment of respect, care and hospitality." They call the people they serve our ‘Guests,’ because they want them to feel welcomed and to maintain their dignity during what is a trying time in their lives.
