Ealing Soup Kitchen
As part of our ongoing efforts, our community outreach continues to collaborate with local churches and organisations in supporting the Ealing Soup Kitchen initiative.
Ealing Community Church has supported the Ealing Soup Kitchen (ealingsoupkitchen.org) for many years, long before 2005, when we formed a dedicated team to become more actively involved. Since then, we have joined the rota of local churches to provide food, fellowship, and friendship to the homeless clients who attend.
