OXFORD – A new soup kitchen offering, to be called Oxford’s Soup and Sandwich, will begin serving on Mondays at 5:30 p.m. starting on Monday, Jan. 9 within the Parish House of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.

With the loss of the Taste 'N See soup kitchen, members of this ecumenical, all volunteer group began meeting in November to discuss how to serve a soup and sandwich offering once a week for those in need.

Each week, this basic food offering will serve a homemade hot soup, a choice of sandwich, a beverage, and fresh fruit for dessert, and community members of all ages are welcome. The soup for the January 9 meal is a homemade vegetable soup, with choice of sandwiches or peanut butter and jelly sandwich for those young at heart. Organizers will post the menu for the following week at each meal.
