About The Lord’s Table Soup Kitchen
Who We Are
The Lord’s Table Soup Kitchen (official name: Gaithersburg Community Soup Kitchen, Inc.) is supported by approximately 250 volunteer staff from local churches, synagogues, schools, community service organizations, civic groups, and individual volunteers.
We operate entirely on donations of food and money.
We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and officers.
We coordinate with other local nonprofit organizations to share resources, to educate, and to promote efforts and services for the benefit of the hungry, homeless, and other members of our community who are in need.
Our volunteer staff prepares and serves free hot meals in a restaurant style service October through April.
We offer social service referrals focused on the personal health, nourishment, and housing needs of our guests, especially the homeless.
Thank you to all our current and past facilities, food, and financial supporters.
