To be a part of any creative process is an honor, but especially when it serves a higher purpose. I chose a flat bark-like chain to represent the seemingly rigid structure of life but then I inserted leaves and little blossoms / berries that symbolize all the opportunities for rebirth and renewal that we encounter on our journey. I’ve had a working relationship with Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen for 30 plus years. They have always been committed, accessible and brave through many crises in New York City. They quietly and steadfastly serve those in New York who are in danger of falling through the cracks. In these unstable economic times the Soup Kitchen faces increasing demands for their services.
About my charity: Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen
Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen has been a symbol of hope and compassion in the Chelsea section of Manhattan since 1982. Housed in the landmark Church of the Holy Apostles, the Soup Kitchen serves over 1,250 hot nutritious meals each and every weekday, including holidays. Anyone who comes to our door is welcome – without question or qualification. Since the Soup Kitchen first began in October 1982, it has served over 6.5 million meals.
