Ardmore Soup Kitchen

Ardmore Soup Kitchen Ardmore Soup Kitchen provides hot wholesome meals to anyone who is hungry while building community. All come hungry and in great need of a warm meal. SW.

Since 1999, the Ardmore Soup Kitchen has been providing hot wholesome meals to anyone who is hungry. Our dedicated teams of volunteers from area churches, community and school organizations, and local businesses cook and serve the meals in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, providing a sense of security, and dignified environment to memembers of the community who have limited access to a nutritious

meal. Our dinners are our Ardmore neighbors who have fallen on rough times. Some are low-income individuals, working families, and the homeless. The Ardmore Soup Kitchen serves a weeknight meal from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Ardmore Salvation Army’s Social Services building at 123 A St. To enter the kitchen and dinning room, dinners and volunteers come to the glass doors that face the parking lot. As a charitable organization, the Ardmore Soup Kitchen is a 501©3 nonprofit with six community leaders serving on the organization’s board of directors. Glada Prater serves at the executive director to manager the program, recruit and train volunteers, and plan the meals. Funding for the Ardmore Soup Kitchen comes from a variety of sources including individuals, foundations, local businesses, and churches. To volunteer, please contact Glada Prater at 580-220-8435 or [email protected].

Last week, two different groups from across our community came together for one purpose: making sure Ardmore's neighbors were fed.

First Baptist Church Lone Grove made the drive with open hearts. Carter County Democratic Women's Group brought their energy and dedication.

Both groups left our kitchen a little fuller than they found it and not just the plates.

This is what Ardmore looks like when we show up for each other. 💛

To our individual volunteers from last week, this one’s for you.

No matching t-shirts. No group sign-up. Just people who saw a need and said yes. 💛

Last week our kitchen was kept running by individuals who gave their personal time to make sure our neighbors had a warm meal served with care. That kind of quiet service doesn’t always get the spotlight but absolutely deserves it.

You showed up. You served. You made a difference.

THANK YOU. 🍽️

🍋 Fun Food Fact Friday!
Did you know lemons float but limes sink? Lemons are less dense than water while limes are slightly denser, so they behave completely differently even though they look almost identical!
Just another reminder that small differences can have a big impact. kind of like one volunteer, one donation, or one shared post for the Ardmore Soup Kitchen! 💛
We serve free, hot meals Monday through Friday, 6:00 - 6:30 PM at 123 A St. SW, Ardmore.

A HUGE thank you to BancFirst for an incredible week!

When a team commits to a full week of service, that says everything about who they are and BancFirst showed up every single day last week to make sure our neighbors were fed.

From Monday to Friday, these amazing individuals traded their desks for aprons and serving spoons and we could not be more grateful.

BancFirst, thank you for investing in Ardmore in the most meaningful way possible. This community is better because of you.

🥜 Fun Food Fact Friday!
Did you know peanuts aren't actually nuts? They're legumes — making them more closely related to beans and lentils than to almonds or walnuts!
Not everything is what it seems, but one thing that's always exactly what it appears to be is a hot, wholesome meal served with love. 💛

🏥 Shoutout to last week’s volunteers, Mercy Hospital Ardmore!

A full week of serving our community, that is exactly what the incredible team from Mercy Hospital Ardmore did last week!

These are people who already spend their days caring for others and then they came to our kitchen and did it all over again.

To everyone from Mercy Hospital who showed up, rolled up their sleeves, and served, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. You embody what it means to truly care for a community.

🧅 Fun Food Fact Friday!

🌟 This community never ceases to amaze us.

Night after night, people show up. Not because they have to, but because they care.

That is the Ardmore Soup Kitchen in a nutshell. It's not just us, it's THIS community. The helpers. The servers. The ones who give a few hours of their evening so someone else gets a warm meal served with love.

To everyone who has ever shown up, rolled up their sleeves and served, you are the reason this works. 🍽️

We serve free, hot meals Monday through Friday, 6:00 - 6:30 PM at 123 A St. SW, Ardmore. And we couldn't do it without this village.
