Community Meals
Our Meals.
We hold free community meals open to anyone in the community twice per month. Our program is meant for people in need. We classify need is a broad term. Some people need the economic help, others need to save time in the kitchen and spend it with their children. Others are in need for a sense of family, community and new friends. Others just want to support our organization.
What: Free Community Meal
When: 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month . Doors open at 4:30 with dinner served from 5pm to 7pm.
Where: Feed’em Soup Head Quarters, 122 South First Street, Dekalb IL 60115 (See map below)
Our menu changes from meal to meal but is almost always centered on a hearty, filling soup. Some of our recent favorites are Cream of Potato with Ham and Bacon, Chicken and Dumpling, Chili, and Minestrone. A main dish other than soup is often served and several sides are always available and range from things like Roasted Butternut Squash and Macaroni and Cheese to fruit salads and side salads with homemade croutons.
Everyone is welcome to attend our meals completely free of charge. There is a small donation basket placed at each table with a sign that reads “Small donations to cover the cost of food are welcomed but never required.” We encourage potential voluneers and members of the community to attend our meals to get to know us better as well as those in need. Those able to cover the cost of food are welcomed to do so, however NO ONE is EVER asked to pay for any of our services. We would love to meet you at one of our meals!
