Soup Cafe, Bismarck ND
Feeding the Body, the Mind & the Soul
in Bismarck-Mandan
In March of 2015 after celebrating six successful years of serving the hungry in our community we made the decision to search for a second location for the Soup Cafe. At the time we were bursting at the seams serving anywhere from 100 to 200+ people a day six days per week. The homeless shelter was 2 1/2 miles away which meant that for the homeless to get a hot meal they would have to walk 5 miles round trip. So we started a campaign to raise money to open a second location for the Soup Cafe, one where we would be closer to the homeless shelter. Just as we started this project our landlord dropped the bombshell that he was terminating our lease on June 1st. So at the end of May 2015, we closed our doors and Bismarck has been without a soup kitchen since our closure.

You know that the Soup Cafe provides food for our guests: soup, sandwiches, desserts, coffee, and more. No one needs to go away physically hungry. We also provide spiritual and emotional nourishment. Guests have made friends while eating a good cup of soup. It is a place to hear your name and see a smile.Did you know we do the same for our volunteers? God uses our ministry to support those who volunteer. Two men met, have become friends, and are now hunting buddies. A Tuesday morning shift has become a place for friendship. They try to sign up at the same time, serve together, and laugh. There are so many more examples.Today, Gordon, who has volunteered before, brought his sister-in-law. Gladys lost her husband earlier this year and moved to Bismarck. Gordon thought it would be a great place for Gladys to meet new people and give back as she mourns her husband and adjusts to a new community. Gladys, you are always welcome at Heavens Helpers Soup Cafe.If you have a minute, offer up a prayer for Gladys as she makes Bismarck her new community and adjusts to being without her partner.

We have tons of bananas that are at the “use or lose” stage that need to go today. Soon they will just be ready for banana bread. So if you are looking to dehydrate or freeze them for smoothies, stop by the Soup Cafe today before 5 PM.  Anyone is welcome to stop by and get some.
