Plymouth Soup Run

Every night, the Plymouth Soup Run steps out across the city of Plymouth to serve hot food, drinks and a friendly word to those who are homeless, hungry or vulnerable. Founded more than two decades ago and driven by community and faith-led volunteers, this vital service provides free meals at 4 street-side stops, as well as a Saturday morning drop-in for rough sleepers.

Behind each night a team of volunteers from churches, local businesses and caring individuals who collect, prepare and distribute food and essentials with compassion. The mission is simple: no one in Plymouth should have to face the night without a warm drink, a nourishing meal and someone who cares. Through consistency, kindness and community spirit, the Soup Run builds trust and connection that go beyond the meal itself.
