Mission Statement

The East Boston Community Soup Kitchen strives to feed, shelter, and assist with the recovery and self-care of the hungry and homeless in our community, and to do so without judgment or exclusivity.

About This Cause

East Boston Community Soup Kitchen strives to be a welcoming, dignified space where our guest can experience the compassion and respect they may struggle to find in everyday life. While many of our guest seek food, warmth, and other physical aids, many come in search of a social and emotional support system, of which we gladly offer. We work alongside many well-known figures who have and continue to volunteer, at which time, they drop their titles, education, and affluence at the door and are only there to serve our community. As we are a space that ensures everyone is equal. We strive to treat each person with the same respect we ourselves expect. We strive to create a welcoming, dignified space for all members of our community. We acknowledge that minorities and people of color are disproportionately affected by the lack of quality healthcare, education, housing, and food access, and the COVID-19 pandemic. We actively work towards closing that gap, using food as a pretext for other essential work: connecting neighbors in need with adequate resources to make steps towards recovery, security, and well-being. Every Monday we distribute groceries to over 500+ bags of groceries to those in need, and on Tuesdays we host our community inside our venue and serve hot meals for them. We distribute backpacks with supplies, snacks, and run a monthly pet food program.
