What is a soup kitchen?
A soup kitchen or a bread line is a place where food is offered to the poor for free or at a reasonably low price. Frequently located in lower-income neighborhoods, they are often staffed by volunteer organizations, such as church groups. Soup kitchens sometimes obtain food from a food bank for free or at a low price, because they are considered a charity. The American gangster Al Capone financed a soup kitchen during the Great Depression to improve his image. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup_kitche… “take a rain check” – this means that I will make a note of this event (whatever it will be) and use it in the future (often for a favor). Example: I’ll take a rain check for that cup of coffee you were going to buy me today. (source for this one is me). Good Luck!!!
