About Your Kitchen to Soup Kitchen
Your Kitchen to Soup Kitchen was founded in 2017 by two sisters, Rachel (age 11) & Jordyn Ross (age 13). Both girls grew up in Carlsbad, CA with a passion for social action and volunteerism. They have enjoyed being involved in San Diego, CA beach clean-ups, organizing fund raising activities that support Rady’s Children Hospital, and by personally conducting a toy donation to dozens of children during a family trip to Cuba.
During a recent visit to a restaurant, Rachel and Jordyn inquired what restaurants do with food that is left over at the end of the night. The discussion that ensued, along with the revelation around how much food is wasted every day by commercial food establishments, led these sisters to create Your Kitchen to Soup Kitchen.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to connect commercial food establishments with the hungry throughout our community. Your Kitchen to Soup Kitchen helps salvage leftover unserved food by transporting it to various hunger relief agencies throughout the area.
We coordinate a pick-up and delivery schedule between our network of donor food establishments and recipient food shelters. This allows our volunteer transporters to ensure food donations arrive precisely during the service hours of the soup kitchen.
