Mission Statement

The mission of the Organic Soup Kitchen is to ensure that no one, regardless of financial status, shall compromise the quality of the food they eat or feed their family. Food communicates the love and support that unifies people around a common need. When combined with coordinated social services, our food is the catalyst for physical and emotional rehabilitation. Self-healing begins with a serving of nutrition and compassion.
