Each year the number of meals served and delivered by Bluffton Community Soup Kitchen continue to increase. At the end of our first year in 2011, we served and delivered 500 meals. Seven years later in 2019, we served and delivered 14,359 meals. Our challenges include not having a dedicated van for our home meal deliveries and paying for food and supplies. In 2017 Bluffton Community Soup Kitchen applied and received the status of a 501 (c)3. The Mission will write grants and apply to receive funding from corporations, foundations, businesses, churches, and private individuals to purchase a dedicated van, a building and to pay for food and supplies.
