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 volunteer 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.
