The Midland Soup Kitchen serves 1,000 people hot meals just before Christmas

"This is my favorite event for this entire year of getting into the Christmas spirit," an administrator with the Midland Soup Kitchen said.

MIDLAND, Texas — Toys and toys galore at the Midland Soup Kitchen on Friday, as they held their 37th Annual Community Christmas Meal.

MSK broke a record as well, serving 1,000 people a hot meal and it was all completely free.

"This is my favorite event for this entire year of getting into the Christmas spirit and helping others in a cause that's bigger than themselves and its a blessing to be a part of it," MSK Administrator Nathen Ivy said. "We take pride in being able to give back that Christmas experience to the community because a lot of people are not gonna get it this year. That's something my family has taken on and I wouldn't have it any other way that's for sure."

MSK also told NewsWest 9 that they had to stay open an hour longer once they were done serving. They also gave out 2,100 toys to the kids.
