Donations
($$$, Food, Time)
The Pueblo Community Soup Kitchen (PCSK) is a non-profit organization that relies heavily on donations from the community. These donations consist of monetary, food, and time. We serve between 200-250 meals (breakfast and lunch) per day.
Breakfast consists of donuts/sweet rolls, cereal, eggs, oatmeal, coffee, and juice. Our lunches are a hot meal 5 days a week, Monday - Friday and on Saturday it's a sack lunch.
Much our food is donated to the Soup Kitchen by private citizens, grocery stores (King Soupers and Safeway, hospitals, and small businesses such as Daylight Donuts). We are so appreciative of the folks for helping us out. Pueblo Community Soup Kitchen is blessed with using much of the goods it receives, but we are blessed to be able to share these goods with other organizations within the community. We deliver goods to The Salvation Army Food Pantry, The Boone Community Pantry, The Pomegranate Project in Bessemer, Los Pobres, Pueblo United, One-Way Street, The Clean-up Program through Catholic Social Services, and the Rescue Mission.
​
The monetary donations not only go towards purchasing food, but the greater part goes towards utility bills, kitchen supplies, office supplies, insurance, auto needs, repairs of an ever-aging infrastructure, and a staff of 3 full-time employees.
No matter what, we will be here in some way, shape or form to provide meals to the hungry in the greater Pueblo area.
Donate $$$
Throughout the past 48 years of operation the Pueblo Community Soup Kitchen has been good stewards of the generous donations of so many of our friends. In 2024, we continue to maintain that good stewardship as we move forward with BIG plans for 2025. So much of our aging infrastructure is in need of repair. Because of your generosity, we are starting to make those repairs and most important are able to return to indoor dining. The generous donations from the Souper Walk helped us move this vision forward sooner. Starting November 4, 2024, our clientele will no longer be sitting on the hot asphalt in the summer and cold snow in the winter. They will be sitting indoors eating their meals at tables, eating off of real plates, with real cups and silverware. We sometimes don't realize just how much something as simple as eating on a plate at a table can truly mean; it can make a difference in someone's life. It is an issue of dignity. If we feel value, we start to value who we are as a human being. Perhaps this is the beginning step from homelessness to housing. You help make this vision come true with your donations.

Same holds true when we are creating sack lunches for the needy. The soup kitchen will have supplies to make sandwiches. It's the other things that make the lunch.

Plastic wear (Forks and spoons) Sippy cup drinks
Small bags of chips (any kind will do) Applesauce cups
Granola Bars Box Drinks
Cheese crackers Bottles of water

Volunteers are what make the Pueblo Community Soup Kitchen what it is. Without volunteers, the soup kitchen would not exist.
