Charity and volunteers keep the doors open. Gifts of cash and food come from individuals, churches, civic organizations, school groups, foundations, and large and small businesses located in Wyoming and surrounding counties. Donated food makes up more than 70% of the contributions with Weis Markets, Aldi and Walmart contributing grocery items several days a week. Local farmers provide fresh fruits and vegetables that are greatly appreciated.

Dedicated volunteers are the lifeblood of the Seven Loaves Soup Kitchen.  Since the beginning over 3,400 community-minded individuals have given more than 139,150 hours of their precious time and energy serving guests.  Some volunteers have been serving at the Seven Loaves Soup Kitchen since the doors opened in 2007.  Several of the local churches, families, businesses, and civic organizations bring groups of volunteers one day every month. The 2024 annual operating budget is $247,370 and includes $120,750 in food donations.

Historically sources of funding have been: Individuals 50%, Local Businesses 14%, Corporate Foundations 25%, Civic and School Organizations 3%, and Churches 8%.
