More than forty years have passed since Sister Angela Mary Parker made it her mission to feed the hungry by serving soup from the back of her station wagon in 1982.
There are also many nonprofits who offer support for those needs with free food distributions.
But they are always in need of assistance themselves, with money and food donations.
Here are six of the many giving groups that are worthy of support.
Religious Community Services
