This soup kitchen provides about 80 homeless people with a warm lunch every day. The project also provides emotional support, legal assistance, and basic skills workshops.

Volunteers are needed to help with the preparation and distribution of the meals, organizing and leading new workshops for groups of homeless, and engaging in community outreach efforts with assistance of project staff. Mom's Kitchen provides volunteers with the wonderful opportunity to build relationships with the homeless community members through developing new friendships and providing positive support.
