Caring Kitchen News!
Rev. Alexis Talbot and Patti Alexander of Cason United Methodist Church pose with Jason Leroy and Guillermo Carrasco of CROS Ministries' Caring Kitchen program. Cason UMC is generously sharing their kitchen with us temporarily so we can continue to prepare meals to serve the hungry in different locations in Delray Beach. See below for our meal sites. Our search for a permanent meal preparation site is on-going.

From 95, you will need to turn left on Barnett at the first stop light, then right on 7th to cross over Boutwell. If you are coming from the south, you can still come north on Boutwell to 7th Avenue. If you have any questions, please call 561-233-9009.
