Soul Food

Weymouth, UK

Since 2000 Soul Food has been serving the homeless and vulnerably housed with hot, nutritious food week after week, free of charge and in an atmosphere free of judgment. The most marginalised and overlooked members of our community find welcome and compassion when they walk through the door of a Soul Food session. Monday and Wednesday evenings at 5.30pm and Thursday and Friday mornings at 9.30am a team of wonderful volunteers serve what for many has been a lifeline. On Tuesday evenings our van does a a free food drop at the former Council office car park at 5pm. Soul Food itself became homeless in 2019 when the Prayerhouse building was destroyed in an arson attack. We know firsthand what it feels like to be dependant on the goodwill of someone else for our very survival. Weymouth Family Church generously lend us their building, Bethany Hall from which to operate Soul Food each week. Soul Food is possible because of the donations of individuals and the food collections from supermarkets. If you would like to donate, head to our website. Address below. If you would like to join the team please complete a contact form on the website or call in the Prayerhouse office.
