SoupStop

SoupStop Our mission is to provide a nutritious meal, in a friendly atmosphere, to anyone who is hungry. Soup Stop volunteers are the heart of our operation.

SoupStop is a non-profit organization funded entirely through donations and volunteer efforts. Through a partnership with WB’s Pub and Grub, we are able to provide people with a free hot meal. They prepare and serve daily lunches and clean the serving and kitchen area. You may volunteer daily, weekly or monthly. Volunteer hours are Monday through Friday 10.30am to 1.00pm. To volunteer call our vol

unteer coordinator Charmaine Owens @ 217-549-2852. Because our operation depends on each person’s commitment, it is crucial that all volunteers arrive on time for their shifts. Volunteers who maintain their commitments help ensure that no-one goes hungry. Please make checks payable to Soup Stop, NFP, INC. and mail to Tim Silence, P.O. Box 722, Charleston, IL, 61920. Food items needed are: regular and diet hot chocolate packets, instant coffee and tea, lemonade mix, non-frozen cup-size microwavable dinners, snack-size applesauce, snack-size fruit cup, snack-size pudding, big bags of pretzels, big bags of animal crackers, and peanut butter. Non-food items needed are: hot and cold drink cups, paper napkins, durable dinner-size paper plates and bowls, plastic utensils, paper towels, fold-over, ziplock and snack-size sandwich bags, and food-handling disposable gloves.
