St. Barnabas Episcopal Church Ministries

St. Barnabas Soup Kitchen

The Saint Barnabas Soup Kitchen is a ministry of Saint Barnabas Episcopal Church, which reaches out to the community in a number of way.

  • We use donated resources to feed the hungry of Yamhill County.

  • We feed the hungry in an atmosphere of dignity and respect where those who come to us are offered the same kind of hospitality, as if they were guests in our home.

  • We provide opportunity for members of the larger community who wish to serve and to share their gifts as Christ Served us.

Ways you can help

The Soup Kitchen is under the umbrella of St. Barnabas Episcopal Parish and its 501(c)3 status and the church is its principal sponsor. However, without the offerings of time, talent and treasure from individuals and businesses in the community and grants, we could not continue to fulfill our mission to feed the hungry.

  • Volunteer. Sign up individually or as a group to help with meal preparation and/or serve dinner guests. Please call (503) 472-3711 or email admin@stbmac.org

  • Sponsor a fundraiser. If this is something your group or business would like to do, please contact (503) 472-3711 or email admin@stbmac.org for more information.

  • Donate food–in bulk. We serve restaurant-style meals from an ever-changing menu of delicious and nutritious food and appreciate donations from local farmers and businesses that help us do that. Please note, because we are a food ministry, rather than a food bank or pantry, we can only accept food donations in a quantity that can be used to prepare a dish that will serve 60-100 dinner guests.

  • Support us financially. Like most nonprofits, The Soup Kitchen depends on financial ​donations from individuals, businesses, clubs and other organizations ​to fulfill its mission. Every dollar helps us feed the hungry of Yamhill County. Please consider making a one time donation or, if you are able, giving ​on an ongoing basis.

    Donate online at PayPal or Square, or by check. The Soup Kitchen does not recommend sending money by mail, so ​please stop by the church office at 822 SW Second Street if you ​would like to make a cash donation.
