2025 Hardship Outlook
2024 was a year that has seen many challenges to the less fortunate in our community. The financial picture was bleak from the beginning of the year, and has only seemed to have gotten worse in 2024. There have been organizations similar to Soup for the Soul who have been forced to terminate their operations due to lack of funding, lack of volunteers and not being able to keep up with the needs of the people they served. That being said, Soup for the Soul Dundalk has seen a noticeable increase in clients and a greater need for support. There are many individuals and businesses who provide financial support, but the need is getting greater every week. Our product partners (see Contributor Page) do what they can to keep our shelves stocked for the regular Monday Food Giveaways and for us to have some products in case of an emergency situation. Our goal is to minimize the food insecurity that exists in our community and show those less fortunate that there are people who care about them.
In addition to our primary mission of assisting the food insecure population, we like to provide other services to our clients. Events like our Easter Giveaway, Memorial Day and Labor Day cookouts, Back to School Celebration (school supplies, hair cutting, etc.), Thanksgiving Meal Giveaway, and Christmas Celebration are all welcomed and needed by our clientele. All of our efforts require volunteers, product contributors and financial contributors.

Back to School 2025
Each year, Soup for the Soul - Dundalk provides a Back to School event to help our clients get their children ready for the upcoming school year. The primary focus is to provide free school supplies (backpacks, pens, pencils, notebooks, crayons, etc.) to the little ones. We believe that education is an important step to break the cycle of financial and food instability. In addition to the supply giveaway, we have partnered with several barbers and stylists to provide a "Shape and Trim" for those students who need them.
This event date and location has yet to be determined for 2025
If you are able, please consider financial support for our organization.

Christmas Needs
Christmas is always coming!
In addition to our food and grocery giveaway, we intend to provide a Christmas gift to each of our clients. There are several families who rely on us, and we'd really like to give each child a small gift for them to enjoy during the Christmas Holiday. In addition to the children, there are some clients who don't have and can't afford what most of us consider typical kitchen tools such as can openers or other small gadgets. It is our wish that we could provide these types of items during the Christmas season and beyond.
Below is some information regarding our Christmas Raffle. We use the proceeds from our raffles to fill in the gaps between what has been donated and what is needed. Please consider donating some items that you feel will help those less fortunate and/or grabbing a few chances of the raffle.
