-Mother Teresa

Serving the Jacksonville community

St. Francis Soup Kitchen is a volunteer operated facility located at the Providence Center, 134 E. Church Street in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. As it has for over 30 years, each Saturday the St. Francis Soup Kitchen’s volunteers serve hundreds of the community’s less fortunate, poor, homeless, and anyone in need of nourishment. Everything is done to acknowledge the dignity of the poor, to respect them and serve them hospitably.

"For it is in giving that we receive"
-St. Francis of Assisi
