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 Armyโ€™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 501ยฉ3 nonprofit with six community leaders serving on the organizationโ€™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].

Nature's most patient ingredient and proof that some good things truly last forever. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Did you know?

The average American wastes about 1 pound of food every single day โ€” that's over 300 pounds a year per person! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Meanwhile, right here in Oklahoma, 1 in 4 children don't know where their next meal is coming from.

That gap is exactly why the Ardmore Soup Kitchen shows up Monday through Friday, 6:00 โ€“ 6:30 PM at 123 A St. SW. No questions asked. No strings attached. Just a hot, wholesome meal for anyone who is hungry. ๐Ÿ’›

HELP US FRESHEN UP TO MOVE FORWARD! ๐Ÿงน

Ardmore Soup Kitchen family, we need your hands and your hearts!

As many of you know, we previously purchased a building with the dream of making it our permanent home. However, bringing it up to city code requires more funds than is feasible. Weโ€™ve made the strategic decision to put the building on the market to sell.

Currently, we are blessed to be housed in the Ardmore Salvation Army kitchen, where we are building a strong community support resource in tandem with them. But to take our next big step, we need to get the old building looking its best for potential buyers.

Can you spare just two hours to help us make it shine?

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ When We Need You:

Wednesday, June 3rd | 10:00 AM โ€“ 4:00 PM (2-hour shifts)
Saturday, June 6th | 10:00 AM โ€“ 4:00 PM (2-hour shifts)

๐Ÿงผ The Game Plan (Chores Include):

Dusting and washing walls
Wiping down trim and baseboards
Wiping down interior surfaces
Sweeping and mopping floors
Cleaning bathrooms

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ What to Wear:

Dress comfortably and come ready to work! Please wear closed-toed shoes and feel free to bring your own cleaning gloves if you'd like.

โค๏ธ Every single weeknight, something special happens at 123 A St. SW in Ardmore.

Volunteers show up. The kitchen gets busy. And one by one, our neighbors walk through the door โ€” not just for a meal, but for a moment where someone looks them in the eye and says: "You matter, and we've got you."

Here's the reality in our own backyard:

๐Ÿ”ธ Oklahoma ranks 6th in the nation for food insecurity.
๐Ÿ”ธ 1 in 4 Oklahoma children are food insecure.
๐Ÿ”ธ Over 900,000 Oklahomans relied on SNAP at some point in 2024 just to meet basic nutritional needs.

These aren't just numbers โ€” they're our neighbors. Our kids. Our community.

The Ardmore Soup Kitchen serves Monday through Friday, 6:00 โ€“ 6:30 PM, rain or shine. No questions asked. No strings attached. Just a hot, wholesome meal for anyone who is hungry. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

It works because Ardmore takes care of Ardmore. ๐Ÿ’›
