Guest Information:

Join us for a free, hot meal every Tuesday between 11am and 12pm:

We serve a to-go lunch in our parking lot.

Everyone is welcome!

Keep on loving each other as brothers.

Do not forget to entertain strangers,

for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. 

Hebrews 13:1-2 (NIV)

The Ascension Lutheran Soup Kitchen opened its doors on October 12, 2010. Since then, it has continued to furnish a hot, well-balanced, and fresh lunch for countless individuals. Everyone is welcome! No ID needed, no note from social services - just come if you are in need of a meal. 

The food we serve is provided by local businesses, grocers, organizations, and individuals. We have volunteers from the Dilworth neighborhood and beyond, including our church family, schools, and businesses. We love, honor, and appreciate everything that our volunteers have done to make this a successful soup kitchen.

Where to Go:

Ascension Lutheran Church is located at 1225 E Morehead St, Charlotte. For information about how to get to Ascension, please see: our home page or contact page.

Donate to the Soup Kitchen:

The Ascension Lutheran Soup Kitchen operates as a ministry of Ascension Lutheran Church. However, the Soup Kitchen operates entirely on donations from our community in order to operate and does not receive funding from the general operating budget of Ascension Lutheran Church.

Financial Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and are used to offset the costs of purchasing foodstuffs when donated supplies are insufficient. Please contact the church office if you would like to make a tax-deductible financial contribution.

In-Kind Donations of food or equipment can also be made. If you wish to make an in-kind donation, please contact the church office so we can arrange the pick-up or receipt of the donation.
