Our Director is Awesome
Kathy Cline has been the director of the Pueblo Community Soup Kitchen (PCSK) since March 1st of 2024. As President of the PCSK Board of Directors and as a weekly volunteer, I think I can speak for the board members, staff, and all our wonderful volunteers, that Kathy has truly brought a positive change to this great family. The work environment she has created at the soup kitchen has been one where we all feel needed and valued. She works tirelessly at improving every aspect of this non-profit organization. The soup kitchen hours of operation are 6:00am to noon, but you'll find Kathy staying many hours after the doors are closed, working on weekends when she's short of volunteers, and much more. She does all this with the most positive attitude, and she understands it benefits her team. She always has a positive attitude that has helped all who serve at the soup kitchen continue to feel motivated. Kathy's greatest joy above all else, is the JOY of ministry. In her words, "I thrive on the JOY that this position brings to me. It feeds me as much as I help feed those in need." Kathy, we are all grateful for the positive contributions you have made here at the PCSK. Thank you for your kindness, encouragement, positivity, and support. I don't think we could have asked for a better Director.
Thank you!
Your PCSK Family
