When We’re Open & How We Serve:
The H.O.P.E. Soup Kitchen is open every Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Guests are welcomed to move through a series of food stations and select items based on their needs.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, guests were served a hot meal and allowed to socialize, exercise and play games. Since the pandemic, guests now receive a to-go boxed hot meal, allowing individuals and families to safely take a warm, prepared meal with them.
Each guest is invited to choose one item from each station during the first pass. After everyone has had the opportunity to go through—typically serving 100 or so individuals—guests are invited to go through again as food is available. This approach ensures fairness, dignity, and care for all.
