Make a Gift in Honor of a Loved One

Honor a friend's birthday or anniversary by making a donation to the Soup Kitchen, or make a donation for everyone on your holiday gift list. We will send a card or certificate to inform them of your gift. This is a great way to give a gift that matters to people who don't need or want any more "things."

If you are planning a party to celebrate a milestone in your life (50th birthday, 25 anniversary, retirement) and don't want your friends to bring gifts, why not suggest they make a donation to the Soup Kitchen instead! Our guests will appreciate your generosity.

You can also make a donation to the Soup Kitchen to honor the memory of a loved one who has died. It's a meaningful alternative to sending flowers. We will send a card to the family of the deceased to inform them or your gift.
