SEAFORD, De.- A new soup kitchen program in Seaford is looking to making a difference one hot meal at the time.

"We saw an urgent need in the community," explains pastor Miguel Alban, who now leads Seaford's Salvation Army. "The program started just a few weeks ago and so far it's been a success."

Every Tuesday and Thursday, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., volunteers will offer hot meals to those in need at the soup kitchen.

"Food alone can fix anything," says former math teacher Kevin Dempsey.

After retiring, Dempsey now serves a head chef for the project. He says that it's been a rewarding experience.

"I'm learning as I go, for me, it's a different kind of giving. Because the people that you see are truly in a different kind of need. An educational need is different than a hunger," he adds.

The program is now looking for more volunteers to help during the Soup Kitchen hours.

"We're also welcoming any kind of donations of food. It all goes to those in need in the community," explains Alban.

Seaford's Salvation Army is located at 22318 Sussex Hwy, Seaford, DE.
