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 2024 we served 26,680 meals and had 1470 in-person volunteers to serve those meals. We also had many behind the scenes volunteers on non-serving days.

What else happens at the Red Deer Soup Kitchen?

Our outreach coordinator has been actively engaging with our street friends.  Some of his activities include: liaising with other social agencies and advocating for those needing mental health and medical assistance.  He has also been helping a few of our young men navigate the justice system.  This year he saw success in the form of housing for a few the young men he has been working with.

Just in case:

Just in case you were not sure where 5014 49th street is located you might recognize our building as the old German/Canadian club.
