Community Cooperative Ministries/Soup Kitchen  The Soup Kitchen (Community Cooperative Ministries, Inc.) is feeding more people in Fort Myers due to our economic downturn. We work two shifts, 7—9:15 and 9:15—12:15, the 3rd Wednesday and 4th Thursday of each month.  The first shift packs up the “Meals on Wheels” food for the drivers that deliver it; and the second shift readies the food to serve the homeless and poor who come to the kitchen to eat.
