About The Soup Kitchen
Since our volunteer run non-profit opened its door in 1982, The Soup Kitchen has provided over 1,000,000 warm and nutritious meals to seniors, low-income workers, people unhoused and anyone living at risk in Victoria.
In 2023 we served more than 38,000 diners, a 19% increase over the previous year – with dignity, compassion, and respect. All of this is made possible by our incredibly generous donors.
On Friday November 12, 1982, founders Murray and Edna Black opened in the basement of St. Andrew’s Cathedral to welcome hungry residents in need of a haven, to be nourished without judgement. Today, 41 years later, their fierce dedication to making a difference in the lives of those in need continues as a comfort, and in some instances a lifeline, for the downtown community.
The Society is a registered non-profit, non-denominational charity. It is located in the basement of St. Andrew’s Cathedral, 740 View Street, Victoria and is open Monday to Friday, including all holidays.
The Soup Kitchen celebrates diversity and is committed to a culture of inclusiveness and respect. This extends to our guests, volunteers, donors, business and community partners.
