With open-hearted support from donors, The Soup Kitchen will continue to fulfill its mission – remaining true to our founders Murray and Edna Black. Please donate today to Fill a Bowl! Each dollar received goes to feeding those in need.
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, 43 years later, their fierce determination to make a difference in the lives of those in need continues.
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.
Funded by community donations, for over 43 years The Soup Kitchen has remained true to our mission, feeding those in need. This steadfast commitment is only possible because of the generosity of individual donors and local businesses.
