The Coney Island Soup Kitchen serves hot meals to the public every Wednesday and Friday evening between 6:00-7:00 PM. Our chef prepares a wide variety of dishes from different cuisines each week. A voluntary religious service often follows each meal. The Community Kitchen also serves hot snacks every school day to the students in our after-school program.
Our after-school program provides homework assistance, activities, art, games, bible study, and a small meal for children 5-13 every school day. The program is currently overseen by our Food Program Coordinator Denise Robbins and enrolls up to 22 students. We welcome new participants and hope to hire a professional educator for the program soon.
