Soup kitchens are always looking for volunteers, but it’s still important that you call ahead of time. The holidays especially encourage many groups and individuals to volunteer. Do some homework to see which soup kitchen or shelter has the biggest need for volunteers.

There are many online resources available for people who wish to help the homeless any time of the year. Check out HomelessShelterDirectory.org to find a list of soup kitchens near you and Read More Here for a good water system to cook.

Feeding America is another great resource for finding local food banks in your area. They secure and distribute more than 3 billion meals throughout the U.S. each year.

FoodPantries.org is a third resource which allows you to search for soup kitchens. Use this to find nonprofit organizations committed to fighting hunger.

Coffee creamer, sugar/sweetener, and teabags.
