FEATURING: All ages. We are planning a work day to do clean-up and begin rebuilding work at Stone Soup: The building is cleaned out and ready for rebuilding! Yesterday we had a great clean up with a dozen volunteers cleaning, patching, painting, tarring, sorting, assembling lights and other things to be ready for the rebuilding work that will start within a few months. Some highlights:
Over 500 people attended the King Street Block Party 2011! Stone Soup announced that rebuilding of 4 King St will start soon thanks to the “Helping Hammers” Carpenters Union Apprenticeship Program signing on (pending signing off on final scope of work). Fun and community togetherness was experienced by all, including many games and a water battle organized by The Woo, entertainment coordinated by Toxic Soil Busters / Worcester Roots Project, bike repair and pedal-powered smoothies and movies by Ciclovida / Flintstone Car / Earn-A-Bike. filled in with great music from DJ Juami, with the beautiful backdrops by Stone Soup Graphics. Local talent included the ever-popular Little MJ, Maray – Kfingers & Miss Diva, Street Bangas, Conjunto Añejo, and rock bands at the second stage: Omerta, Friends of Foes, Snookie Got Decked. Big thanks to the supporting and sponsoring organizations including EPOCA, Worcester Community Housing Resources, REC, Everyday Miracles, A1 Windows, Beacon Pharmacy, Main South CDC, Main St Liquors and Midway Beauty Supply.

Saturday, December 4th, 2010 FEATURING… FOOD, Enter a soup into the soup competition. Donations welcome to benefit Stone Soup. FLYERS: Download English flyer (PDF – 1mb) | Volante en Español / Flyer in Spanish (PDF – 1mb) Large Printable English (3mb) | Large Printable Spanish (3mb) Over 30 people pitched in for a community work day at 4 King St on November 20th, 2010. One year and 8 months since the devastating fire, Stone Soup stays strong and is finally able to begin rebuilding. They begin with cleaning out debris from inside the basement and first two floors, as well as removing the stage, patching the sides of the porch and cleaning up the grounds. The group left energized and even more steadfast about the decision to rebuild at 4 King St, as the clean-up revealed the structural strength and beautiful woodwork that remains in most of the building. The workday was also a great reminder of neighborhood connection Stone Soup has, as several neighbors came by to pitch in. One neighbor, Calvin Bradshaw, states “it’s so great to see the rebuilding getting ready to begin, it means a lot to the neighborhood.” Photos by Gray Harrison of Worcester Earn-A-Bike and Tina Le from Toxic Soil Busters / Worcester Roots Project:  Yaw Boateng and Jairo Reyes Vega of Toxic Soil Busters, along with Worcester Earn-A-Bike members clean up 4 King St
