Welcome to the East Side Soup Kitchen

We welcome you to the East Side Soup Kitchen website. We are excited to enter into the world of the internet! I hope you have time to read through our history of the past 28 years serving this community of Saginaw.

We have posted a wish list of food items that are always needed and our Mission Statement. We would love to hear from you with any questions or comments you might have for us.

There is also an opportunity to donate to the Soup Kitchen with your credit card.

May you and your loved ones be blessed with abundance and happiness.

Sincerely,

Pam Cole
Director
