Capitol Hill's only soup kitchen, located in the Church of the Brethren, is a cooperative effort supported by the Brethren, local businesses and congregations, schools, and members of the community.  Since the Soup Kitchen is the areas only daily meal service, it fills a critical need for those who face hunger and homelessness here in our neighborhood.

Lunch is served Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and includes soup, bread, a side dish, dessert and a beverage.

With its open door policy, the Soup Kitchen welcomes everyone to join in the meals - there are no eligibility requirements.  Many of the guests are unemployed and homeless; other are employed, but reside in shelters while they search for permanent, affordable housing.  A meal at the Soup Kitchen has also become one way that a number of guests are able to stretch severely limited incomes.

Volunteer

Without volunteers our Soup Kitchen would not exist.  Here are some ways you can volunteer:

Help prepare, cook, serve and clean up for meals.

Organize a group of four to eight volunteers who would be willing to fill a shift from 10:00a.m. to 2:00p.m. on a regular or one time basis.

Participate in a work night chopping vergetables, baking casseroles and desserts, preparing for holidays, or doing heavy cleaning projects.

Spend time in the dining room eating and visiting, helping by answering questions.
