About Us

Red Deer Soup Kitchen: Serving the Red Deer Community
“Where Faith Meets Works”

Mission Statement:

To meet the physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs of the disadvantaged in the Red Deer area in a comfortable and spiritually nourishing environment.

How does the Red Deer Soup Kitchen meet these needs?

The Red Deer Soup Kitchen serves a supper every Thursday and Saturday evening from 4:30pm-5:30pm and a brunch every Sunday from 11:30am-12:30pm. We also give out numerous snack bags throughout the week. Additionally, we give out weather appropriate clothing and blankets as well as personal hygiene items.

Update:

In 2025 we served 27,415 meals and an innumerable number of snack bags during non-serving hours. We had 1,116 in-person volunteers to help prepare and serve those meals. We also had many behind the scenes volunteers on non-serving days.

During our non-serving hours we hand out snack bags to anyone who knocks on our door! During the cold weather we also give out jackets, mitts, hats, socks and blankets.
