The only soup kitchen in Pinal County is being forced to close its doors soon after 10 years at the same location. Genesis Project was told their lease would not be renewed and that they needed to leave in three months. Many people in Apache Junction rely heavily on the Genesis Project and hearing that they'll close soon has left some of them questioning where they'll get their next meal. "Everybody has a story here," says one regular, Holly Marcotte. "I have my story.
It's not just homeless people, it's disabled people and seniors," Marcotte said."What happens when Genesis stays open is it helps the community and reminds the community that everyone is a person and everyone deserves life and deserves a meal," said Genesis Project success story, Janice McCarthy.For years, McCarthy would go to the Genesis Project for meals until she achieved sobriety.Executive Director Trinity Cole says Genesis Project was notified on Aug.
