From Our Kitchen
to Your Table
Nourishing Santa Barbara for Over 16 Years
Organic Soup Kitchen provides nutrient-dense soups to individuals with cancer, chronic illness, and low-income seniors. Our soups are also available to the public — anyone can purchase them online or in our downtown Santa Barbara storefront. Each purchase, along with every donation, volunteer, and partnership, helps us sustain this mission of nourishment and care.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
I've tried Bento and Tangelo in the past and they don't even come close to your quality in food or service.I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone and everyone I meet, and I always make sure to tell my medical professionals to recommend you to all their patients as well. Thank you for everything. Your business model is definitely one to look up to.

Why it matters
Food that is truly nutrient dense makes a difference in the lives of those experiencing cancer, chronic illness or a disability. We believe that everyone deserves to have access to not just food, but actual nutrition.
The need for food and nutritional security is at an all-time high, especially among our low-income residents, seniors, women and marginalized community members. Individuals and families are being forced to decide between paying rent and bills and putting food on the table. Additionally, there are more than 18,000 unique cases of cancer in Santa Barbara County. More than 70% of our clients have cancer and 95% are living with chronic illness or disability. On top of that, access to food that supports health and healing is something that’s often reserved for those more privileged in our community.
