Info

University Soup Kitchen is Charlotte's first 'green' food pantry, founded in 2013 by Joshua Bridges on the UNC Chapel Hill campus and now operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The organization rescues surplus fresh meals from local restaurants and stores and redistributes them to individuals, families, and homeless communities across the Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill metro areas. Programs include a Mobile Help Center that delivers food and groceries by appointment Monday through Thursday, a Mobile Meals service serving underserved neighborhoods along the North and South Tryon corridors (including South Side Homes and Dillehay Courts) on Saturdays, a Mobile Market, weekly Soup Kitchen Sundays distributing hot meals alongside clothing and hygiene items, a USK Kids Club youth-mentorship program, and disaster-relief support.

How do I get food?

Can someone deliver the food to my house?

Delivery services are very limited and are usually reserved for senior citizens or those with serious medical problems. If you believe you fall into either category, let us know and we can help you find options in your area.

What do I have to bring?

Every location is different! Please review the details included on each resource to see whether you need to bring any documentation like ID or proof of address, or supplies like bags to carry the food. If you don’t see any information on the resource, you don’t have to bring anything!

Do I need an appointment?

What kind of food do they have?

Food pantries like University Soup Kitchen offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

Do they have vegetables?

Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

Do they have meat?

Unfortunately, University Soup Kitchen may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

Is University Soup Kitchen open today?

University Soup Kitchen is open today 1:00 PM-2:00 PM!

Where are you located?

Can I get a reminder before my visit?

Yes! Tap the "Remind me" bell above to get a reminder via text or WhatsApp before it opens, so you don’t forget your visit.

Can I build a weekly food schedule?

Yes — you can use Lemontree to build a calendar of upcoming pantry visits for the week, so you always know where to go and when. It’s a great way to plan ahead and make sure you have food throughout the week.

How do I get help from a real person?

You can text our helpline at 90847 or reach us on WhatsApp between 10am–6pm, every day of the week. A real person will help you find food near you, answer questions, and connect you with the right resources.
