About
Our mission is to provide a nutritious meal, in a friendly atmosphere, to anyone who is hungry.
Soup Stop has successfully operated in the Charleston community since 2001. We are a non-profit organization funded entirely through donations and volunteer efforts. Through a partnership with WB’s Pub and Grub, we are able to provide people with a free hot meal. Board members, donors and volunteers work together to serve meals and to-go lunches five days a week to all who ask for service. People do not need to reveal personal / financial information to eat at Soup Stop.

Volunteer hours are Monday through Friday 10.30am to 1.00pm. To volunteer call our volunteer co-ordinator Charmaine Owens one month in advance at 217-549-2852
Because our operation depends on each person’s commitment, it is crucial that all volunteers arrive on time for their shifts. Volunteers who maintain their commitments help ensure that no-one goes hungry.
Thank you!
