This book actually got my gears turning on what it would take to create a free soup kitchen type thing in my area. We have free access to food and a few groups that donates hot food to the homeless(shoutout to our local FNB!) but we don't have any place that is like a building where anyone can go to.
Back in a past life I used to do FNB. We cooked in a volunteer's home and served in a public park even in the winter. We had a camping stove to keep food warm.
Having a safe, warm and dry place would make it much more pleasant for the people enjoying the meals. It was nice to be out in public because it destigmatized receiving free food a bit. You'd get the yuppie dinks with their little dogs stopping by along with the people who used the local shelters.
The camp stove is a great idea. We mostly do stuff that can be served cold like pasta salad but we also do soups and it's sort of make it right before and hope it stays warm. I haven't made anything yet but plan on it once I get my life in order lol.
