Soup Kitchen for Homeless/Marginally Homeless (London)


The soup kitchen I’ve been doing a bit volunteering work is "a resource for the homeless, marginally homeless, impoverished and lonely in Central London. These include ex-offenders, economic migrants (especially from E Europe) and refugees. The soup kitchen call those use their facilities their ‘guests’.”

5 days a week, this soup kitchen with 3 part-time staff and about 70 volunteers is serving about 55 guests per day. 

Every year, 12,000 meals served 250 different people (homeless, marginally homeless, impoverished and lonely, include ex-offenders, economic migrants, mainly from Eastern Europe, and refugees). Also hands out 3,500 articles of clothing or shoes + 2,500 toiletry items.
