The Belfast Co-op’s Common Cents group for November is the Belfast Soup Kitchen! Every shopper may ’round-up’ their purchases at the Co-op to donate to our monthly recipient. 100% of all donations received through Common Cents go on to each month’s group.
Belfast Soup Kitchen is a non-profit organization that exists to feed those who are experiencing food insecurity, not only in the city of Belfast, but across Waldo County. The Mission of the Belfast Soup Kitchen is to provide a safe community where the guests can find food, comfort, and hope for the future in an atmosphere of dignity and respect.
The vision of the Belfast Soup Kitchen is to eliminate chronic hunger for the people and families Waldo County not only by offering nutritious food, but also connections to resources and educational opportunities to mitigate the associated circumstances surrounding food insecurity.
Through curbside/take out service, dining room service, and delivery options, the Belfast Soup Kitchen distributes approximately 300 meals per day.
The BSK serves all guests that come, with no qualifications, in an open and welcome atmosphere that provides an opportunity for a sense of community in a non-judgmental environment. Our Guests are working families experiencing hardship, the unemployed, senior citizens, persons with intellectual or physical disabilities, veterans, food insecure children, and the homeless.
