Organic Soup Kitchen Expands Accessibility through Medically Tailored Meals 

For 15 years, Organic Soup Kitchen has provided millions of SoupMeals to vulnerable community members throughout Santa Barbara County. In a first of its kind program, the organization is set to become the first local provider of Medically Tailored Meals (MTM’s) to CenCal health plan members. This groundbreaking collaboration will dramatically expand access to underserved populations struggling with or recovering from cancer, diabetes, heart disease or a hospitalization.

As our healthcare system embraces Food as Medicine and supports equitable access to quality nutrition, Organic Soup Kitchen is thrilled to be leading this initiative in Santa Barbara County. 

CenCal Health has pledged $100,000 towards our $500,000 goal. Every dollar will directly support a new cold storage facility and program expansion including construction costs and resource acquisition. We invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey. Together, we can make a lasting impact and ensure that Organic Soup Kitchen continues to serve as a beacon of health and hope.

“I’m inspired by the thousands of community members Organic Soup Kitchen supports, as well as the dozens of people who volunteer their time to create such a fantastic product and valuable service. I’m a huge fan of their soups. They don’t just taste fantastic, they are also packed with vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that boost the immune system and increase energy. I love that my purchases and donations help provide soup to nourish and heal community members struggling with cancer or chronic illness. It’s a shining example of this organization’s impact on those most in need.”
