"Our style is Mexican, but we also know how to cook pastas and we try to change it up because it's not just Mexicans, but also Americans and African-Americans," said Zapata.The soup kitchen serves mostly men who are either homeless or dealing with addiction or mental health issues. Some, are just in need of a taste of home.
"Our mission, like that of St. Pius and the mission of the food bank, is the same. In the end it's to attack hunger and to let no one go to bed hungry," said Zapata.Guiada por la fe y una cucharada colmada de dedicación, Socorro Zapata lleva 15 años alimentando a gente hambrienta en la comunidad de Pilsen en Chicago.El Banco de Alimentos de Chicago supple los ingredientes y Zapata y su equipo de voluntarias se encargan del resto.
