Sustainers of Hope

​Nourishing Our Community, One Month at a Time

At the Belfast Soup Kitchen, we serve over 5,000 meals each month to our neighbors across Waldo County. Behind every meal are our Sustainers of Hope - monthly donors who provide the reliable support we need to fight hunger in our community.

Why Monthly Giving Matters
Your recurring donation creates a foundation of support that allows us to:

​

  • Plan confidently for the future, knowing we have dependable resources.

  • Respond quickly to increased community need.

  • Reduce administrative costs so more of your donation goes directly to serving meals & helping our community.

  • Build sustainable programs that address food insecurity in Waldo County year-round.

$10 provides pantry items for the kindness community market
$25 helps supply a week of fresh produce for the kitchen
$50 helps power our outreach programs to our communities
$100 provides 200 nutritious meals to our neighbors in need

Join Our Community of Sustainers
When you become a Sustainer of Hope, you join a special group of dedicated supporters who form the backbone of our services.

​"Our Sustainers of Hope don't just fund meals - they provide the stability that allows us to focus on serving our community with dignity and respect.
 
They are truly the foundation of everything we do."

~ Cherie Merrill, Belfast Soup Kitchen Executive Director
