Altruism Attracts: Doing Good and Finding Love in a Local Soup Kitchen

By:

Was it her big hazel eyes? Was it his dapper moustache? When Pat Moulton and Jim Snodgrass are asked what attracted them to each other, they don't cite these or any other winning feature. No, for her, "It was his real interest in helping." For him, it was the thought that, "Here's someone working full-time and then giving so much" to Toni's Kitchen, the soup kitchen in Montclair, where the two met in 2006 and where they still avidly volunteer. This is their love story, and they're sticking to it.

Ed. note: Toni's Kitchen is a ministry of St. Luke's in Montclair.
