If you or someone you know is in need of help with a warm meal for yourself or your family there is help available across the Harrisburg & West Shore area. Sometimes it is just a one time thing, other times you may need help for a bit longer and that's ok. There are people and organizations out there offering help to those in our community.

The phone numbers for each soup kitchen are included below to call to verify hours and any requirements or info you may need to bring with you (proof of residency, photo ID, etc).

Please share this list with anyone you know who may need a bit of assistance right now.
