Soup Kitchen

Hot Meals served 365 days a year

The RIFA Soup Kitchen provides hot, nutritious meals 365 days a year, including all holidays. There is no charge for the meals, and no one is turned away. There are many who get their only hot meal of the day in the Soup Kitchen. We serve, on average, 200 meals daily.

Worship, breakfast, and lunch served daily

Breakfast and lunch are served seven days every week and dinner on Mondays and Thursdays. A worship service takes place before each meal.

Volunteers are important

With only one full-time RIFA staff member, the Soup Kitchen relies on more than 1,000 volunteers annually from local churches, service organizations, businesses and individuals to carry out meal planning, preparation, and serving. In addition, all of the food served in the Soup Kitchen is donated from area restaurants, businesses, churches, civic groups, and individuals. More than 65,000 pounds of food is donated each year to feed the hungry in our community.
