EL CALDITO SOUP KITCHEN

In our community, hunger is a daily challenge for many. El Caldito Soup Kitchen stands as a warm, open door, offering not just essential nourishment but also a place of dignity, safety, and belonging. Here, every bowl served is a gesture of compassion, and every person who joins us finds a temporary respite from their struggles.

Our Mission in Action

We believe that access to food is a fundamental human right. That's why El Caldito provides hot, balanced meals to anyone who comes to us, without question or cost. From Sunday through Friday, our doors are open for warm, sit-down meals that nourish the body and offer a chance for connection. Recognizing that need doesn't stop, we provide convenient take-away lunches every Saturday.

We also know the importance of shared traditions. On special holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, we prepare full, festive feasts to ensure that these meaningful days can be celebrated with warmth and community, even for those facing hardship.
