Congregation member Nguyen Thi Nguyet (left) fills a stainless steel container with iced tea for the public outside the church on March 13, while a delivery man stops to get some coffee. water.
Clear water and clean cups are available next door, as well as a basket for used cups. The 58-year-old said water and materials were provided by the church, while nearby worshipers were responsible for restocking tea and ice.
“At first the container was made of plastic, but it was easily deformed [in the hot sun]so we opted for a stainless steel model,” Nguyet said, adding that after she finished work in the morning, she spent her free time volunteering for the church.
