What we do
Since 2006, our volunteers have provided hot food, clothing and conversation to the homeless living on the streets of Dublin every Monday night. In 2016, we were donated a catering van allowing us to extend our service to the outer reaches of the city, provide other soup runs with supplies, and thanks to our amazing volunteers, we operate 7 nights each week, 52 weeks of the year.
Our Mission
Our Mission Statement:
"The aim of the Soup Run is to meet people who are living on the streets, talk with them, offer noodles and soup and in doing so to show them Jesus and His love and care. As the opportunity arises, to pray with people and share Jesus with them in words."
We provide hot nutritious food, warm clothing and friendly conversation where it is needed. We offer the homeless community of Dublin compassion, respect and comfort, free of judgement. Our service is made up entirely of volunteers and all donations, in their entirety, are spent on food, clothing and keeping our mobile soup run van "Faith" up and running.
