WHO WE ARE

North Shore Soup Kitchen Inc has been serving Glen Cove and the surrounding North Shore Communities since 1989. The Kitchen is located in the lower level of the First Baptist Church in Glen Cove and staffed 100% by a corps of more than 50 dedicated Volunteers. We are able to operate through the generosity of individuals, religious organizations, local businesses, civic and not for profit organizations.

WHAT WE DO

Our mission is simple: Feed the Hungry with Dignity and Respect. We serve hot meals every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 12 noon to 1:00 pm year round. Meals consist of soup, fruit, salad, bread, meat, vegetable, dessert and drinks. Over 8000 meals were provided to individuals and families in 2024, no questions asked. New and gently used clothing, shoes, groceries and hygiene products are available everyday.
