FOOD SHARING MINISTRY Soup Kitchens | Food Bags | How to Volunteer The Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy runs a soup kitchen which serves up to 200 people a day, five days a week. The soup kitchen has a list of clients-poor people referred to us by the social services administration for the neighborhood in Moscow or by other voluntary organizations. Many of the clients are elderly, while others are people with disabilities or single mothers and their children. All of them use the meal to make their meager incomes stretch further. The daily meal typically consists of soup, porridge, meat, salad, bread and tea. The staff of the cafeteria prepare the meal, and then volunteers serve it, trying to offer a kind word along with the hot food. Our goal is to provide the meals in an atmosphere of Christian dignity. The soup kitchens are a place where people come together to share a meal and to discuss the local news, their health and the stories of their lives. You can read some of the stories here. And if you are in Moscow, we invite you to visit the soup kitchens as a volunteer.
