Soup kitchen

A soup kitchen is a place where food is offered to the poor for free or at a reasonably low price. Volunteers sometimes come in to help out. If a soup kitchen is in a reasonably large city, sometimes church groups will come and help out. Soup kitchens sometimes get their food from a food bank for free or at a low price, because they can be considered a charity. They might be located in less than average neighbourhoods to help turn it into a better place.
