Ms. Helen's Soup Kitchen

Located on 117 W 7th Street, Crowley, LA

Many years ago, Mrs. Helen John began a mission to feed anyone that came to her door.  In 2002, in her memory, a family home was donated to St. Michael Church and converted into a soup kitchen that feeds the poor and hungry in Crowley.

Ms. Helen's serves as the delivery point for Second Harvest Food Bank and Wal-Mart donations, and dry goods are distributed to Crowley Christian Care and to those in need. 

We always strive to keep the operating costs to a minimum, and Ms. Helen’s is solely sustained by donated funds from our local community through St. Michael Church. Current operational costs, which include two small salaries, are around $40,000 to $45,000 a year.

Ms. Helen’s is open every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, feeding approximately 150 to 200 people each day, and this number goes up significantly  in the summer months and on school holidays due to the number of children who come for a meal. 

Monetary donations are always needed. If you can find it in your means to donate to serve the hungry in our community, please consider making regular donations. 

Please consider making a substantial contribution at this time, and in the future, so that the vision of Ms. Helen to feed anyone who is hungry can continue in Crowley.  The mandate from Jesus to care for the poor is paramount to our Christian faith (Mark 14:7).

One of the key things to remember about Ms. Helen's Soup Kitchen is that anyone can come for a meal. There are no requirements, no forms to fill out; just a group of people willing to feed anyone who is hungry.
