Welcome to the website for the Carroll County Soup Kitchen. We are a non-profit, totally volunteer-run organization in Carrollton, Georgia.
To talk with someone about the Soup Kitchen, please call 770-214-5055. If you want to bring a group of volunteers, please contact the Soup Kitchen to schedule your group. We ask that groups be limited to 10 persons, and that volunteers under 15 years of age have adult supervision with them.
The Soup Kitchen delivers sack lunches to shut-ins and serves a hot meal at the Soup Kitchen from 11 a.m. until noon Monday through Friday of the last full week of each month except December. Volunteers are needed from 8:30 until about 1:00 on Soup Kitchen Week.
Thanks to a grant from walmart.com, lunch is now served on every Monday and every Thursday. There will be no sack lunches on the "extra" Mondays and Thursdays, but everyone is invited to come and enjoy BINGO from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m., and a hot meal from 11 a.m. until noon.
With the additional days for lunch, the Soup Kitchen is going to concentrate on what we do best--serve hot meals! If you are in need of food assistance in addition to our lunches, there are many food pantries in Carroll County. Open Hands Ministry serves people who live in Carrollton or who are in the Central school district. Open Hands Ministry is located at 505 Newnan Street and is open every Tuesday and Thursday from 2 to 4 p.m. Directions: Go east from the square in Carrollton (toward Villa Rica). Open Hands is on the right just past the car detail shop at the White Street traffic light. The Bowdon Area United Christian Ministries serves people who have Bowdon addresses or who have children in the Bowdon schools. There are other food pantries located throughout Carroll County.

Our one fundraiser, the Empty Bowls event, will be held on February 26, 2012. Last year, over 800 members of our community supported this event that raised $24,401 for the Soup Kitchen! We are looking forward to this event this year!
Donations of food may be delivered at 345 Beulah Church Road, Carrollton. Please call 770-214-5055 to be sure someone is at the Soup Kitchen to receive the food. We purchase much of our food from the Atlanta Food Bank, which allows us to greatly increase the purchasing power of monetary donations.
Donations of money should be sent to PO Box 2457, Carrollton, GA 30112.
