A soup kitchen is a place where food is offered to the hungry for free.
Soup kitchens provide meals to many people who could go hungry if such organisations did not exist.
The NEWS asked some of our readers why it’s important for communities to have soup kitchens and this is what they had to say:
Mlindi Ntombela said,”They are important because many people are not fortunate enough to have food every day and soup kitchens can make a big difference in the lives of those people.”Karina Laridon said, “It is important because some people don’t have much and they need help. In fact, I would love to be involved in such initiatives but I am new in the area and I don’t know a lot of places.”Rebone Dikotle said, “Soup kitchens are important because that is what ubuntu is all about. I think as people we become so involved in our own problems and we forget that there are people who are worse off than us and don’t have much.”Siyabonga Radebe said,”It is important to have soup kitchens in the community because some people don’t have food and others live in the streets and have no one to help them with food.”
