About

About the program

A staple of Waltham and surrounding communities, the Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen has been serving hot, nutritious meals to those in need for the last three decades.  Every evening, dedicated volunteers from throughout the Metro Boston area gather to prepare and serve food to up to 100 community members without access to affordable, healthy food.  
 
While volunteer groups range in size and frequency of service, those giving back at the Soup Kitchen perform site setup, cleanup and variety of other tasks to maintain the Food Bank’s cleanliness, organization and overall condition.  Soup Kitchen employees oversee the facility each afternoon and evening, ensuring that participants are served nutritious meals in a clean and welcoming environment.
 
In addition to an ongoing partnership with the Greater Boston Food Bank, the Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen relies on food donations from volunteer groups and community partners. Donations include a variety of proteins, vegetables, fruits, grains and dairy.  With tens of thousands of meals served annually, the Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen continues to be a critical resource for individuals and families in Waltham and beyond.
