Soup Cafe, Bismarck ND

Feeding the Body, the Mind & the Soul
in Bismarck-Mandan

In March of 2015 after celebrating six successful years of serving the hungry in our community we made the decision to search for a second location for the Soup Cafe. At the time we were bursting at the seams serving anywhere from 100 to 200+ people a day six days per week. The homeless shelter was 2 1/2 miles away which meant that for the homeless to get a hot meal they would have to walk 5 miles round trip. So we started a campaign to raise money to open a second location for the Soup Cafe, one where we would be closer to the homeless shelter. Just as we started this project our landlord dropped the bombshell that he was terminating our lease on June 1st. So at the end of May 2015, we closed our doors and Bismarck has been without a soup kitchen since our closure.

Thank you Caroline for building the little food pantry outside the Soup Cafe!

For 9th grade confirmation at Lord of Life, the students have to pick a service project. During Confirmation/Affirmation of Baptism preparation, we focus on gaining a deeperunderstanding of what part we play in our community as a whole and how we can help our community needs. Service is based on doing God’s work with our hands, moved by the Holy Spirit with the example of Christ, who came to serve. Caroline wants to be a chef someday and has always liked serving at the Soup Cafe, when presented with this project she right away said she wanted to build a Little Free Pantry for outside the Soup Cafe. She built the pantry with her Grandpas and Dad. ... See MoreSee Less
