Providing delicious, nutritious meals to those in need in the Islip area.

Located in the basement of Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Central Islip, the Bethany Hospitality Kitchen is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides meals to those in need in a dignified manner. Unlike many other soup kitchens, we have no major benefactors financing our daily operations. In these difficult financial times, with reduced food assistance from the government, soup kitchens like ours are struggling.

If you are able to help with a tax deductible donation, you can scan our QR code to go directly to our website: https://bethanyhospitalitykitchen.org or you can Venmo us at Bethany Hospitality Kitchen, Ltd.. Checks can be made payable to Bethany Hospitality Kitchen Ltd. and mailed to: The Bethany Hospitality Kitchen Ltd., P.O. Box 56, Central Islip, NY 11722.

At Bethany Hospitality Kitchen, we serve meals 4 days a week, 52 weeks a year, and 100% of your donation will help us continue this work. If you are in need of a meal, please visit us at 100 Lemon Street, Central Islip, NY, Monday through Thursday where to-go meals are distributed from 10:30 am to 11:30 am.

If you want to learn more about our soup kitchen, please email our President, Joe Ladolcetta, at [email protected].

If you are unable to donate, please keep us in your prayers as we continue our mission of providing healthy meals for those in need.

One of our wonderful volunteers, Marge Haroff, passed away recently. She was a wonderful person to know and work with. Marge actually split her time between volunteering at our Soup Kitchen as well as being a volunteer upstate. She will be missed. ❤️❤️❤️
