Local Spotlight: Manhattan Soup Kitchen

During these difficult times, we are seeing a rise in the homeless population across the United States. From Maine to California, there are men, women, and children who do not currently have the means or funds to partake in a nutritious meal when they need it most. What’s worse, we also have businesses all over who have an influx of wasted food that could easily go to someone in need.

There is a place in Manhattan, KS, that’s trying to put a stop to others wasting food by giving it to those in need. We’re talking about the Manhattan Soup Kitchen.

Waste Not, Want Not

The Manhattan Soup Kitchen has a very singular goal: to provide those who are in need of a full stomach with a rich, sustainable meal. Quite simply, they are looking to provide for those who are without a home or food with a satisfying meal by making sure no food has gone to waste, and they utilize all they have to feed the hungry.

They also use this kitchen as a means to educate those in need of information regarding jobs, shelters, and other resources that could be helpful. They are also quite prominent in seeking out recyclables, especially regarding food, so that it gets to the people who are in need, and they make sure that these invaluable resources don’t end up at various dumps, thus not being utilized.

For those who looking to help out at the Manhattan Soup Kitchen, there are ways you can donate to the cause or even sign up as a volunteer to work at the soup kitchen—they are always in need of helpers, seven days a week!

    From Hungry to Happy

    The wonderful thing about the Manhattan Soup Kitchen is that it is incredibly easy to access—no need to go through paperwork, deal with any sort of unnecessary vetting process, or wait for days just to get a decent meal. They have everything set up so that people who are in dire need of food and water can come in and fill up.

    They have all kinds of options to choose from: soups, salads, sandwiches, fruit, snacks, and all types of beverages. And they do not discriminate against race, religion, gender, or identity; all are welcomed here.

    There is a real hunger problem in our country, where one in six people do not have the means to feed themselves properly and end up going to bed hungry. This is a wonderful organization that fights food insecurity at its source and uses everything they have at their disposal to help those in need.

    They help by sending out food trucks, creating kitchen incubators, providing community outreach, and developing recycling protocols, and they even have showers available to those who are in need. They do all this and more, and it’s all happening in the heart of Kansas.
