Pathhseo, Inc.

The Caldwell Temple Soup Kitchen formed from the Caldwell Temple Feeding Ministry which was established by Reverend Nathaniel B. Gloria Legay, who dreamed of enhancing the family lifestyle of the community and church members. Legay, was the difficult financial circumstances of their congregation and community members. Neighbors and members of the congregation did not qualify for assistance from go

vernmental organizations, and only needed a boost to carry them over each month. Looking for a way to bridge the financial gap for their neighbors and congregation the Caldwell Temple Feeding Ministry was formed in September 2000. The manpower and financial support was provided by the congregation. Hot delicious meals we served faithfully the second and fourth Saturday of each month for 10 years. As the years went by, the demand for services increased. Volunteer and workers began to look for additional venues and supplies to meet growing needs of the community. Through the vision of Sandra Reyes, the effort of the dedicated volunteers and the guidance and support of Reverend Henrico D. White and Micheal Rapley, the PATHHSEO Soup Kitchen at Caldwell Temple launched in July 2010, with the vision of a "Hunger-Free Human Race" and a mission to “Help to Heal the Hurt of Hunger and the Consequences of Poverty". PATHHSEO is the Program of Advocacy Towards eliminating Health disparities and Hunger by Service, Education and Organization. Today PATHHSEO Soup Kitchen serves every Wednesday and Saturday of the month, providing over 500 weekly community meals. We also provide HIV, blood pressure and health screenings. medical consultation and referrals, SNAP and WIC screenings, Flu clinic/vouchers, nutrition classes, bi-yearly parenting and sex education workshops, clothing closet, special holiday community meal distribution and clothing drives with the sponsor of New York Cares. The PATHHSEO Soup Kitchen continues to expand its services to meet the ever-increasing needs of the community.
