Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE SONSHINE SOUP KITCHEN IS AN INTERFAITH COMMUNITY PROJECT REACHING OUT TO PERSONS WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY. WE DO THIS PRIMARILY BY SERVING A FREE MEAL IN A SPIRITUALLY UPLIFTING ATMOSPHERE TO ANY PERSON WHO ENTERS OUR FACILITY.
THE SONSHINE SOUP KITCHEN EXISTS TO PROVIDE FREE MEALS FOR PERSONS IN NEED. IN 2019 10,286 MEALS WERE SERVED TO 7,719 MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN.
THE SONSHINE SOUP KITCHEN SERVICED 7,719 PERSONS IN THE 252 DAYS WE SERVED MEALS IN 2019. 10,286 MEALS WERE SERVED WITH DIGNITY BY VOLUNTEER WORKERS. INCLUDED IN THE EXPENSES CITED ABOVE, DONATED FOOD VALUED AT APPROXIMATELY $79,144 WAS USED IN OUR MEAL PROGRAM. OUR MENUS WERE GREATLY ENHANCED BY A GRANT USED TO PURCHASE FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ENABLING OUR GUESTS THE CHOICE OF HEALTHY FOOD ITEMS TO CONSUME AND TAKE HOME. AS AN ADDITIONAL SERVICE, FREE CLOTHING IS AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY. BEYOND THE STATED EXPENSE, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF VOLUNTEER LABOR AND SERVICES WERE EMPLOYED TO ENSURE THE SUCCESS AND CONTINUITY OF THE PROGRAM.
A NATURAL, BUT INDIRECT, OUTCOME OF VOLUNTEER-BASED MEAL PROGRAM IS THE PLATFORM THAT IS PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY FOR SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES. THIS IS AN INDIRECT, BUT IMPORTANT SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY THAT IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE SONSHINE SOUP KITCHEN. SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES ARE PROVIDED TO PERSONS WHO HAVE SERVICE REQUIREMENTS AND ALSO TO THOSE WHO WISH TO FULFILL ALTRUISTIC TENDENCIES. IN RETURN A LARGE LABOR EXPENSE IS MINIMIZED FOR THE SOUP KITCHEN. APPROXIMATELY, 2,843 VOLUNTEERS WERE USED IN 2019 RESULTING IN 8,530 HOURS BEING SERVED. AT A MINIMUM WAGE CALCULATION, WITH TAXES INCLUDED, THIS LABOR SAVED THE SOUP KITCHEN $61,843.
