Greg helps out at the soup kitchen
St.
Francis Seraph Soup Kitchen has been feeding the hungry in Over-the-Rhine
since 1980. The Soup Kitchen serves more than 200 dinners each Monday,
Wednesday and Friday afternoon year round. The
soup kitchen serves any and all who come to our door. Most folks
do not like to depend on free meals. But the fact is, there are
many men, women and children in our neighborhood who would go hungry
if we were not here to help.
Thanks to the
generosity of our kind benefactors, the St. Francis Soup Kitchen
is 100% funded by gifts-in-kind, cash, and volunteer contributions.
We receive food items from food distributors, restaurants, grocery
stores and individuals. Thoughtful donors provide the dollars required
to rounded menus. Our dedicated volunteer force provides many hours
of hands-on on labor that keep the soup kitchen functioning.
The Soup Kitchen serves
guests from 4:30 - 5:15 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Volunteers
are asked to arrive by 4:15 pm and are finished between 5:30 –
5:45 pm. Click on Soup Kitchen Volunteer Guidelines for more details
about volunteering at the Soup Kitchen.
