AB  - Soup kitchens attempt to improve the food security of low-income individuals, but 
      the results of their efforts are rarely researched. We focused our study on the 
      Inter-Faith Council Soup Kitchen (IFC) near the University of North 
      Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC) in Chapel Hill, NC. The IFC uses no centralized 
      nutrition planning and relies heavily on volunteer cooks, yet we found their 
      meals to be highly nutrient-dense when averaged over a 1-month time frame and 
      compared with the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) and the Daily Reference Values 
      (DRVs). In fact, the only nutrients needing improvement were vitamin D, folate, 
      and calcium. The number of servings per meal was also substantially more than one 
      third of the US Department of Agriculture Food Guide Pyramid recommendations, 
      except for dairy at all meals, vegetables at breakfast, and fruit at dinner.
