The Meriden Soup Kitchen, founded in 1983 in Meriden
CT, feeds the
hungry. A
complete nutritious meal is served 11:00 am
- 12:30 pm Monday-Friday throughout the year,
In
1983, a total of 7,030 meals were served, increasing
to
38,108
meals during 2023. |

|
|
|
Seven teams of volunteers prepare and serve the meals which
generally consist of hot soup, a hot entrée (usually with a
vegetable
and a carbohydrate), freshly made salad, bread and butter,
hot and cold beverages, and a variety of desserts. Clients
are able to take home a variety of wrapped bakery items
supplied by area stores, along with fresh vegetables and
fruits when available.

|
|
|
The number of meals served daily averages between 140-200,
sometimes reaching as many as 225.
Anyone who enters the MSK is served a meal – sex, age,
nationality or any other criteria are not factors. An
accurate tabulation of meals served daily is maintained.
During the weekend, meals are available from the nearby
Salvation Army. |
