Herald photo by Tim Kalinowski Tim Kalinowski – Lethbridge Herald The Lethbridge Soup Kitchen is asking for community support after experiencing a drop in financial donations over the past few months. “Our expenses per month are about $20,000, and since January this year we have seen about a 50 per cent reduction in our funding,” explains Soup Kitchen executive director Bill Ginther. “So which means we are getting about half of what we need. That becomes a concern very quickly.”
