The soup kitchen opened its doors in September of 1984 and continues to serve from the same location today! We would not be where we are today without our amazing volunteers, who selflessly choose to serve those in need.

Come eat with us...

Our soup kitchen is a pillar of Bread of Life and a beacon of hope to those in need. All are welcome to a place where people are served a nutritious meal by compassionate volunteers in a safe environment.

The Maine Department of Corrections donated some of their garden produce to help feed those in need, this was grown and cared for by residents wishing to give back to their community. Donations like these are what makes the Bread of Life work so well, without them we would not be able to do what we are doing.

Bread of Life serves anywhere from 100 to 150 sit-down/take-home meals per day for breakfast and lunch, Monday through Friday. This ranges up to 26,000 to 39,000 meals per year.
