Definition

  • Soup kitchens are community-based feeding programs whose central focus is to serve meals, generally breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner, one or more days per week. Some, though by no means all, allow the individuals to stay between meals as the dining room becomes a kind of day center. [Source: Encyclopedia of Homelessness; Soup Kitchens]
