About us | Our history Many people have asked how the City of Troy is lucky enough to have a state of the art soup kitchen in its small, caring community. It really started with a kind heart, a big vision, and a thousand dollars. In early 1994, the Agape Church, located at the corner of S. Mulberry Street and Canal Street, was serving free meals Monday through Friday. Richard Steineman wanted to make sure that those in need also had access to free meals on the weekends. He approached the Saint Patrick Parish Council about the possibility of serving free weekend meals at the former childcare building on the church property. He presented a plan to serve weekend meals from 12:00 - 1:00, but the Parish Council was reluctant to take on a new ministry that would require church funds to operate. |
