Some FAQ
“How can I best contribute to the program?“
A financial contribution is always helpful and goes directly towards food, and other necessary expenses such as rent, supplies, internet, accounting, etc. to directly benefit our clients. Alternatively, if you don’t want to donate money, you could take advantage of our “Make A Meal For One Night” volunteer opportunity by purchasing, and providing one night’s meal for us. This way both your money AND time will go directly towards feeding our guests.
Don’t have the ability to cook for so many? How about having a meal catered for one night from the restaurant of your choice? It is as simple as contacting us to secure a date on our calendar and placing the order!
We also accept clothing donations within reason – please contact us before dropping off any clothing or food pantry items as we do not have much space to store these items.
If you have any questions or concerns about making a donation, please do not hesitate to contact us at (914) 668-1428 or email us at contact@csasoupkitchen.org
As always, any contribution is tax deductible and greatly appreciated!

Our Mission
From Humble Beginnings to a Lifeline in Mount Vernon
What began in 1986 as a small lunch program has grown into one of the most vital meal services in the City of Mount Vernon, NY.
At CSA, our mission is simple but powerful: to provide nutritious meals to the most vulnerable members of our community—no questions asked. There are no eligibility requirements—just a warm, welcoming space and a hot, healthy meal for anyone in need.
Our primary operation is our free dinner service, offered Tuesday through Friday, from 5:00 PM to 5:45 PM. In addition, we offer:
- Take-home lunch bags
- An emergency pantry
- Other essential take-home items (when available)
For nearly four decades, we’ve remained committed to serving with dignity, compassion, and consistency, thanks to the support of our volunteers, donors, and community partners.
Together, we are more than just a meal—we are a community that cares.
