CUP was thrilled to present 13 people with skillets at today’s Cooking with CUP demonstration. CUP director Mary Stepleton showed participants how to make a tasty dish using ingredients that they could get at the food pantry.

The skillets were donated by people who attend the churches that support CUP and by CUP’s Facebook supporters. This was the first time CUP has done this type of event, and Mary Stepleton characterized it as being “like Christmas” for the people involved in it. The event was part of the daily events scheduled throughout October by the mental health and homeless support organization Changing Seasons to draw attention to the plight of the unemployed and homeless in Lima.

Many thanks to everyone who donated–you’ve made someone’s supper much better!
