Sponsors
The Benton Harbor Soup Kitchen is made possible by the contributions of our sponsoring Organizations and Volunteers. Without you, The Soup Kitchen would not exist.
The Soup Kitchen in Benton Harbor is staffed by volunteers from churches or businesses. Most groups donate the food for their day at the Soup Kitchen. They also cook, serve and help with light clean-up in the kitchen.

Our Wish List is Closed
We have moved out of Salvation Army building and are now located at 174 W Main Street in Benton Harbor. (Please send all mail to PO Box 8210, Benton Harbor, 49023.) We are working closely with the city of Benton Harbor, the Berrien County Health Department, and our many contractors cleaning and repairing the building. As we did through the pandemic, we are serving a daily sack lunch at the Main Street location from 11:30 to 12:45. Attendance hast been between 95 and 120, even with all the rainy days we’ve had lately.
We have many codes to meet and inspections to pass, so we cannot predict when we will be able to open the dining room and resume serving hot meals. We are moving quickly, given the huge amount of work to be done. Once the repairs and approvals are complete, our opening date will depend on the receipt and installation of our walk-in cooler and freezer.
Moving to a new location is proving to be quite expensive, so your monetary support is more important thank ever. Please click the “Donate” button at the top of the page to help. Thank you for your support!
