Meals On Main

Overview

Hey! We're Meals on Main, and we operate a weekly soup kitchen in Christiansburg, Virginia. Every Tuesday, we take the local YMCA's food truck (affectionately known as Becky) and give out roughly 150 meals. In the last five months (as of April 2024) we've given out over 1300 free meals, all at zero net cost to ourselves. We've gotten pretty lucky on our journey to feed people good food for free, but we'd like to share our operational methods, and hopefully help others to create sustainable soup kitchens and serve nutritious, tasty meals.

Our Mission

At Meals on Main, we believe in the power of food. It's one of a few "equalizers;" everyone needs food, regardless of their life situation, and everyone deserves to eat healthy, delicious food. We do our best to be available every single Tuesday, rain or shine, to reliably provide at least one meal per week, entirely for free, with almost no questions asked (more on that later).
