We are a St. Joseph parish soup kitchen serving any persons in Dekalb County who come in need of food.The Soup Kitchen is in need of volunteers in the following ways. On Mondays and Thursdays a hot meal is cooked and packaged between 8:00am – 2:00pm. They are served from 4:00pm-6:00pm, along with any produce, fruit, bread, etc. They are also delivered to the homebound or distributed through the clothes closet on the days following our cooking/serving. It takes many volunteers to cook, package and serve.

Our mission is focused on the respect and love for every life from conception until natural death. It is our goal to build awareness of the many resources available through the Catholic church as well as other prominent organizations, to those who find themselves in vulnerable, life-changing situations. We reach out to the parish with information when it’s received and promote opportunities for parishioners to become involved in these various areas. We also support the Women’s Care Center in Auburn.
