To help alleviate hunger in our community in an environment of respect, care and hospitality.
— The Queen City Kitchen Mission
Feeding a Force for Good
Since 1976, Cincinnati’s oldest soup kitchen remains true to our mission of providing food with dignity for neighbors in need.
This is a modern evolution of a neighborhood safe haven, a staple of the community that looks out for each other, and lends a helping hand to those who are living on the edge. Powered by a network of compassionate volunteers, and generous donors of funds and food, we’re attacking the prevalence of food insecurity in neighborhoods where the poverty rate reaches 40%, and investing in a force for good that can transform entire communities—one meal at a time
Strengthening Our Community
— one donation, one meal, one conversation at a time—
Curious about the work we do? Hear from staff, volunteers, and board members about the impact of bringing food to our neighbors.
