The Sonshine Soup Kitchen provides meals 5 nights each week in Derry to those who are in need and a noon meal on Sundays. The Soup Kitchen’s mission is “to be an interfaith community project to reach out to individuals and families struggling to live independently. We do this primarily by serving a free meal in a spiritually uplifting atmosphere to any person who enters our facilities and by seeking to exhibit the love and grace of Jesus Christ in our service.”

In 2008, the Soup Kitchen served 7,683 guests. It took almost 6,000 volunteer hours to make that possible. Our church continues to volunteer one night every other month to serve one of the evening meals. Please speak with Cindy Cleary if you would like to be part of this hands-on mission. The need for their services continues and their need for our support also continues.
