First Presbyterian Church Soup Kitchen

The Soup Kitchen was started over 40 years ago to provide a hot meal on Sunday afternoons to the food insecure of Memphis. Back then, there was no organization in Memphis that offered a meal on Sundays. First Presbyterian Church's Soup Kitchen founder famously said, "well people are hungry on Sundays too!"  First Presbyterian Church provides the facilities and the leadership while volunteers from around Memphis assist in welcoming our guests, serving a hot meal, and outfitting guests in the clothes closet.
