Info

The Soup Kitchen at Saint Luke's serves over 300 hot, nutritious meals each service day in the church's transformed theater space, including take-out options. The program is partially subsidized by grants from United Way and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, with weekly deliveries of essential items from City Harvest and contributions from neighboring restaurants, the Riu Hotel, and the 46th Street Block Association. Special events include winter wear clothing distribution and holiday meals such as Thanksgiving lunches. The kitchen is staffed by volunteers from the congregation, area office workers, Broadway Serves, and visiting mission and youth groups. All are welcome and no referral is needed for meals. The kitchen takes a brief summer and winter break each year.
