We administer At The Cross Mission INC, a meal kitchen for the unemployed, the homeless, those on fixed incomes, veterans, the elderly, teenagers, families or anyone else desiring a meal.  The soup kitchen is located at Hedges Central School Building, 716 Locust St. Our entrance is on 8th street Door # 9 Mount Vernon IN.  Out Mail address is 301 Main St, Mount Vernon, IN , and operates on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 5pm to 7pm.All kitchen help and wait staff are volunteers.

Some of the food we offer is provided by other churches and other organizations.  The rest of the food, we must purchase.

 Our Mandate is.  Matthew 25:34-36:

  34 "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the  kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

The people we serve are less fortunate than ourselves, and we feel we must do what we can to serve them.  For their sakes, I am asking for donations so that we may continue our free meal program.   I am hopeful that your organization will be willing to help with the free meal ministry.

Our average nightly meal count is 100. We served 17037 meal in 2011, and helped 1577 families with food pantry items in 2011.    We raised $49,210.83 and paid out $42,047.10. 

We served 11619 Meals in 2010 and have helped 881 people with food pantry needs.  We are seeing a steady increase due to awareness and need.  In 2010 We raised $44,843.72 and paid out $35,501.24

The meals are free to those who come, and, as I said earlier, all our help is provided without charge by volunteers, but there are significant costs and expenses, both for food and for other needs. Our monthly food expense is $1150.00. Our building payment is $650.00 a month. Utilities run $595.00. Insurance is $105.00, office supplies run $95.00, travel costs $120.00 a month, and miscellaneous expenses are another $150.00 a month.
