Respected Saint John Charity Turns 30

One of Saint John's most respected charities is marking a major milestone today (Sunday): Romero House is turning 30 years old. Established in 1982, the soup kitchen has served over a million meals to Saint John residents.

Founder Carolyn McNulty says they've weathered some changes over the years since they started in 1972--and they've happy to have a building now that was designed for the soup kitchen and its needs.

One thing that hasn't changed, according to McNulty, is the need for the soup kitchen in the city. She says she's had many people come in and thank the staff years later for their assistance.

There will be a celebration at Romero house today (Sunday) from 2-4pm at 647 Brunswick Drive .
