DILWORTH SOUP KITCHEN is a nonprofit soup organization providing hot, nutritious take-out lunches every Monday and Friday of the year to our Charlotte-area guests. We also provide meals to homeless groups and needy Charlotte Mecklenburg School students. Our all-volunteer team prepares and provides up to 200 high-quality lunches twice a week. Fresh food, as well as a broad range of groceries, are generously donated by our local partners – individuals, organizations, businesses and corporate donors.

From its inception in 2008, the Dilworth Soup Kitchen’s goal has been to provide free, nutritious and delicious meals to anyone -- with no requirements or questions asked. During this pandemic, we transitioned only to takeout service, doubling the number of days and meals we serve. Our volunteers and guests interact safely, wearing masks and staying six feet apart. Lunch bags feature a main course (often in a biodegradable container), soup or salad, fruit, vegetables, water and dessert. And boxes and boxes of groceries, too! The Dilworth Soup Kitchen is just as much about fellowship, service to others and love 💕 as it is about the food! We hope to once again offer hot, restaurant-style hot meals once the pandemic is over.
