Top Soup kitchens in Philadelphia, United States

Building community one heart at a time.And the volunteers and staff are soooo amazing!***stars are everywhere***

Someone turned me on to this place for a quick free bite to eat. I should have turned away when the four turkey guards told me I had to leave my purse at the office. I didn't feel comfortable with that knowing they would search my purse with me knot being present and steal something. Low and behold sknot turkeys stole my social security card. No good deed goes unpunished.

I got nothing bad to say about the Philly house, I did spend 37 days there between October and November last year, staff are very nice people food not a 100 Porcent but a least they feed us everyday.

At the time of writing this I am homeless, and while as a woman I can't stay here, I can get a good bite to eat twice a day. I used to come here rather frequently in 2022 when things were really bad for me. The staff is really great, Jose let me pray for the group once and that was cool. The food is just on point. You feel FULL when you eat here and the food is REAL, sometimes it feels like you are eating at a restaurant. I particularly appreciate that they still serve soda. If you don't have food stamps or SSI it's a real treat and makes you feel good. They have developed a good (and better) system for checking in bags and in a year I have never had a problem getting everything back. You are allowed to have your phone on you at the meal and they have charging stations. Women are allowed in first which is nice. I know they were more ministry oriented before the branding overhaul last year, but I am glad they are still keeping core facets of their services when it comes to the meals. Thanks for looking out for us poor folk and I'll be back!

This place sucks and don’t know how to treat people. They have individuals with problems harassing the people without problems. (There was a guy that clearly had mental issues spitting all over napkins and the table) They didn’t do anything to separate that individual and then I asked for a replacement soda and they gave me an issue. Make sure you have your patience when you go there. The employees absolutely don’t know how the treat the people there.

I helped out and didn't expect it would move so smoothly under the direction of the kitchen head man...I forgot his name but he is awesome.

My first time homeless in my life earlier this year at 59 years old. They treat everyone as if they are rolling out of prison or rehab. They got gangsta wannabe who act like prison guards in there who wake you up at 6am screaming and blasting gangsta rap. I have never been to prison or had a drug problem. But, inherently there, they treat you as if your homelessness is a result of you being in and out of the system your entire life. The owners are worthless and do nothing to help, unless you are in recovery. So, I should've pretended I had a drug problem before I went in there. The case manager is a joke.
He does absolutely nothing except give you printouts to "resources" while telling you that the funding is dried up.
That counselor enjoys free paychecks while doing nothing at all.
Had a staff member step on my feet and threatened me with violence. The case worker never helped in that matter. Same staff member broke HIPPA protocols by telling many people about my medical history.
I have traveled through 20 countries and this is one of the worst places i have ever seen.

Do not smoke in the building and wash your feet and shoes. Don't be stinky❗
The air conditioner works when it is not needed. The staff is excellent.
