Feed The Hungry
St. John’s Soup Kitchen has one mission and that is feeding the hungry. For over 40 years we have been providing food to those who have none in the Newark area. Few people know what it’s like to go without food, but every day guests come to our kitchen to eat. Today with your help, we can continue helping many of our fellow men, women, and children who have fallen on hard times. It is up to all of us to make a difference in the communities we live in.

Women and Children's Center
The Women’s and Children’s indoor dining facility is a converted section of the convent that allows women and children to eat safely. Free from the frigid cold or the scorching heat, young children can enjoy breakfast and lunch in a safe environment. It was opened over 10 years ago and boasts a restaurant-style service system. The women take a seat and then are waited on by our amazing volunteers. This section offers individual service and one-on-one interactions with staff and volunteers to provide a safe haven for families, women, and children, as well as the handicapped.

The Health Clinic
The clinic offers special services with help from The Rutgers School of Nursing (training for student nurses), The NJ Commission for the blind (once-a-month free exams and glasses), Beth Israel Hospital (HIV testing), and volunteer doctors, nurses, and students.
