Volunteer Information

Lou & LuDedicated volunteers are the lifeblood of the Seven Loaves Soup Kitchen. Since the beginning, 2,500 community-minded individuals have given more than 128,300 hours of their precious time and energy to serve our guests. Some volunteers have been serving at the Soup Kitchen since the doors opened in 2007. Several of the local churches, families, businesses and civic organizations bring groups of volunteers one day a month. Volunteers also pick up meals and deliver them to those who cannot get to the Soup Kitchen.
