About UNITED SOUP KITCHENS INC

United Soup Kitchens, Inc. (EIN 20-0042618) is a New York–based 501(c)(3) public charity, tax-exempt since 2003, that operates a network of community soup kitchens focused on delivering hot, home-cooked meals to low-income and vulnerable populations. The organization’s programs emphasize serving elderly Holocaust survivors and other at-risk groups, and in recent years it has run emergency meal campaigns to support families affected by crises abroad (including targeted relief for communities in Israel) as well as assistance for displaced persons such as Ukrainian refugees. United Soup Kitchens maintains regular IRS filings and a public web presence, and its most recent tax returns show meaningful program spending alongside fluctuations in revenue and liabilities that reflect active fundraising and relief operations in the last 2–3 years.
