Twice a day during the week and once each day on weekends, the soup kitchen serves free, nutritious meals to those in need. Volunteers serve an average of 300 meals daily. Poverty does not discriminate. Some of the guests are mothers with young children. Some are elderly. Some are unemployed, others are working and can't make ends meet. They are male and female, young and old, White, Hispanic/Latino and African-American. Guests of the soup kitchen are served in an atmosphere of hospitality and dignity. No one leaves Elijah's Promise hungry.
Our "Bag Meal" program provides a meal "to go" for people who are working, or unable to get here during meal times. We are currently looking for groups to make and donate sandwiches for this project. Let us know if you are interested!
"Fresh is Best" is a project which provides perishable and non-perishable food for people living with HIV/AIDS in Middlesex, Somerset and Hunterdon Counties.
Over 100K meals were served in 2006. We are serving 9% more meals in 2006 than in 2005.
Donations of food and paper supplies are always needed!
