Soup Cafe, Bismarck ND
Feeding the Body, the Mind & the Soul
in Bismarck-Mandan
Heavens Helpers Soup Cafe is closed, Saturday, April 4, 2026. There will be the usual Sunday gathering in the morning on Sunday, April 5, 2026. We will then reopen for meals at 11:00 a.m. Monday, April 6. Blessed Resurrection Sunday.
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.

Seven months ago, I was in a very different place. When I first came to Heaven’s Helper Soup Café, I was in treatment and had opportunity to come volunteer with other Heartview residents. I was trying to figure out if recovery was even possible for me. Today, I walked back in sober and I got to stand on the other side of the counter by choice. I’m seven months sober now. In that time, I’ve opened a women’s sober living home, and the woman serving next to me in this picture, Tawni, is one of my residents. We came to volunteer because I remember what it felt like to be the person who needed a meal and a little bit of hope. This place was part of my journey, and coming back here to serve is my way of saying thank you to the community that showed up for me when I couldn’t show up for myself. Recovery is real. God is still moving. And sometimes healing looks like tying on an apron, grabbing a name tag, and serving soup in the same place that once helped carry you. Thank you Heavens Helpers Soup Cafe.

We believe in second chances. God gives grace.April is Second Chance Month in North Dakota, as proclaimed by Governor Kelly Armstrong.Every day, we see what’s possible when people are given the opportunity to move forward when barriers are reduced, support is available, and communities are willing to believe in second chances.Throughout this month, we’ll be sharing stories of individuals who are working hard to rebuild their lives. These are stories of resilience, accountability, and hope. These are the moments that often go unseen, but they matter. They strengthen families, workplaces, and communities across our state.Follow along with us all month as we celebrate progress, highlight success, and continue the conversation about what it takes to support successful reentry.
