Southern Delaware soup kitchen seeks to open as a church
The Sussex County Planning and Zoning today will consider a proposal from a well-known soup kitchen to become a church.
The Jusst Sooup Ranch on Cool Spring Road was rebuilt last summer for an episode of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Rev. Dale Dunning and Ken Dunning now reportedly have plans to convert the facility into a church. The county board of adjustment recently denied a special-use exeption to allow the ministry to serve food. As a result, Rev. Dunning is making soup at the Jusst Sooup Ranch, then delivers it to other locations that serve the needy population. The Planning and Zoning Board meets tonight at 6:00 p.m.at County Council Chambers in Georgetown to consider Jusst Sooup’s preliminary site plan.
