Our Mission at the Soup Kitchen 

   The Second Presbyterian Soup Kitchen feeds those who are hungry and works to alleviate the root causes of hunger in Spartanburg.

As an expression of our service to God, we envision a Spartanburg where no man, woman or child is hungry. 

WE BELIEVE THAT…..   

• Every human should be treated with dignity and respect, therefore we treat all people that eat at the Soup Kitchen as our guests and anyone is welcome at our table.    

• Feeding a hungry person is a first step in addressing their needs. 

• People who are hungry may have broader issues and needs that should be recognized.
     

• Our volunteers and supporters are a valued asset and we know that they are essential to our success.
     

• We continue to strive to ensure every volunteer and guest has a positive and safe experience with our Soup Kitchen. 

• Everything we do is to glorify God.
  

CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE

We believe that in addition to providing nutritional meals to our guest that our children are one of our most valued guests. The Soup Kitchen has created a Children’s Corner which is set apart from the adult dining area. The volunteers prepare and serve meals to the children in this area, which also provides an opportunity for volunteers to engage in special activities with the children. Volunteers read stories, assist the children with artwork projects and a variety of other events.
