About Lorraine’s:
Lorraine's Soup Kitchen and
Pantry was founded in 1980 by a small group of concerned citizens to
assist the hungry and the needy in the community. By 1990,
Lorraine’s was renamed "Lorraine's Soup Kitchen" and was serving
30,000 evening meals a year and providing 1200 families with
emergency food supplies, plus basic health and social services. All
of this became possible through the love, encouragement and support
of hundreds of volunteers, families, schools, churches, businesses
and fraternal organizations.
In 2008, the future of Lorraine’s was in doubt, when it was forced
to vacate its original location. But, that is when our first
"Miracle" occurred.
Through the generosity of Callaway Golf, property was donated to
build a new Lorraine’s' Soup Kitchen. Additional funds were raised
from families, organizations and the community to continue the
"Miracle on Meadow Street" - Lorraine's brand new building and
location.
About the Miracle on the
Hudson Flight Survivors:
In 2009, six of Lorraine's
Soup Kitchens avid community supporters were themselves the
beneficiaries of their own "Miracle". Jorge Morgado, Jeff Kolodjay,
Robert Kolodjay, Jim Stafanik, Rick Delisle and Dave Carlos were on
their way to a Golf vacation when they survived a harrowing plane
crash into the Hudson River. The heroism and valor of Commander
Sully in piloting the plane to an amazingly safe landing in the
water are today known as the "Miracle on the Hudson".
In tribute to both "Miracles", the famous six golfers have helped
organized the "Miracle on Meadow Street" 9th Annual Benefit Golf
Tournament for Lorraine’s' Soup Kitchen. Please join them
on Wednesday May 25th, 2011 in support and benefit to Lorraine’s.
All proceeds benefit Lorraine’s Soup Kitchen and Pantry.
