Over-the-Rhine Kitchen (Cincinnati's Oldest Soup Kitchen), Walnut Hills Kitchen and Walnut Hills Pantry strive to help alleviate hunger in our community by feeding the poor in an environment of respect, care and hospitality. The population we serve consists of disadvantaged people who lack the financial means, the mental capacity, the housing, and/or the life skills to provide themselves with a hot, nutritious meal. Among our guests, we see the mentally ill, the elderly poor, the unemployed working poor, underemployed, and the homeless. Through our services, we seek to meet their basic needs for food and water and attempt to improve their quality of life. Annually, with the help of over 27,000 volunteer hours, the Kitchens serve approximately 180,000 meals and the Pantry distributes groceries to about 12,000 individuals and families.
