Soup kitchen

Soup kitchen

A soup kitchen or a bread line is a place where food is offered to the poor for free or at a reasonably low price. Frequently located in lower-income neighborhoods, they are often staffed by volunteer organizations, such as church groups. Soup kitchens sometimes obtain food from a food bank for free or at a low price, because they are considered a charity.
