Dilworth Soup Kitchen is a nonprofit organization providing hot nutritious take-out lunches every Monday and Friday to our Charlotte area neighbors in need, no questions asked. Our all-volunteer team prepares and provides 200+ high-quality lunches twice a week. Fresh food, as well as a broad range of groceries generously donated by our local partners, are also offered to our guests. Additionally, we operate a Food Pantry where our guests can shop by appointment for groceries every other Wednesday.

We have no paid staff and rely on volunteers to help us make this service available to the people we serve. We are fortunate to have a strong core group of regular volunteers but often require new volunteers and invite you to become a part of our mission.

The various tasks performed by volunteers include food preparation and cooking, washing dishes, general cleaning, inspecting, and sorting produce, packaging desserts and bread, lunch assembly, bagging groceries, and lunch distribution. We also need skills-based pro bono volunteering such as fundraising, marketing, social media, public relations, etc.
