FEEDING MORE THAN PHYSICAL HUNGER
More than just a soup kitchen, we are dedicated to providing not only meals, but also a community hub where guests can relax and recharge. We are open five days a week, serving 500+ meals each day.
On-site volunteers have the opportunity to connect with their neighbors by cooking, serving food, and bussing tables. Off-site volunteers make sandwiches, bake treats, make birthday bags and more. Learn more about volunteering here.

A SAFE SPACE TO GATHER
We provide a safe, welcoming space to gather in a low-barrier environment. Guests have the space and time to rest or play cards, make art, and do other social activities.
A social worker is on site to help guests connect to services. We host community agencies on weekly schedules, providing mental and physical healthcare, employment assistance, addiction services, and more.

RESCUING GOOD FOOD
100% of the food we serve is rescued and donated, sparing thousands of pounds of good food from landfills each year. Food rescue benefits the environment and values the time, effort, land and other resources used to produce food. More people in the United States are going hungry now than during the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic six years ago according to news from NPR. It is a source of great pride for us that every bite of food we serve is rescued or donated. Learn more about our food rescue efforts here.
