"...for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me..." -- Matthew 25:35
Welcome to the
Wildwood Soup Kitchen Website
The Wildwood Soup Kitchen is staffed by caring and loving volunteers inspired by the Gospel mandate to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, and welcome the stranger. We are a true ecumenical ministry with well over 100 volunteers from nearly 30 churches in the Wildwood area.
The Wildwood Soup Kitchen serves the poor, the hungry, and the lonely by providing healthy, nutritious and appetizing meals to all who come to us. We also deliver meals to shut-ins and others who are unable to come to the Soup Kitchen. Every person who comes to us for assistance is welcomed, without regard to race, sex, age, color, national origin, religious preference, handicap or income.
The Wildwood Soup Kitchen is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. To arrange for home delivery of meals to someone living in the Wildwood area, call the soup kitchen at (352) 748-1008, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

New Volunteers
We can always use new volunteers to help out with particular tasks; for example:
Drivers. Deliver meals to shut-ins; provide your own vehicle; one day each week for about 2-3 hours. Training provided.
Cleaners. Vacuum and clean up at the conclusion of the daily meal; one day each week for about 1 hour.
Bakers. Willing to bake desserts for the daily meal (e.g., cakes, cupcakes, pies, etc.); one day each week; deliver baked items to Soup Kitchen.
Kitchen Help. We always need substitutes willing to come in on relatively short notice. And we occasionally need replacements for those who can no longer volunteer due to any number of reasons.
If you would like to volunteer, send us an email:
