The Soup Kitchen serves as a lifeline and a comfort for the downtown Victoria community. Staffed by volunteers and funded by community donations, for over 40 years we have remained true to our mission, feeding those in need. Thank you for being generous.
After watching 2 men digging in a dumpster, founders Murray and Edna Black, opened The Soup Kitchen on November 12, 1982. They welcomed hungry local residents with a hearty soup, nourishing without judgement.
Today, 42 years later, their fierce determination to make a difference in the lives of those in need continues.
Hot soup made fresh every morning, a meat and cheese filled sandwich, yogurt, and a hard-boiled egg. Two fruits, a sweet, bottled water, and hot tea or coffee completes each meal.
With soup-to-go meal service.
As an essential food resource for downtown Victoria, The Soup Kitchen relies on the support of over 100 dedicated individuals, drawn from across the community. Our volunteers are kind, eager to serve and have a heart for the community. Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers.
