Drop-in centers, soup kitchens, food pantry, shelters, social work services, supported housing. These descriptions only tell part of the story, though. We are a community at Preble Street. The "We" means everyone involved: staff, board, volunteers, donors, and especially those who use our services. Everyone is welcome at Preble Street, everyone is respected and treated with dignity, and everyone is invited to contribute to the effort of meeting our mission. Passionate and generous people who say with our founder, Joe Kreisler, I am a human being.
Preble Street serves 1,200 meals every day at three soup kitchens, and in addition we're providing 600 extra meals daily to our new neighbors from around the world. Watch this video to learn more and see the work in action! Featuring: Glenn Close, Chellie Pingree, Hannah Pingree, Jill Saxby, dee Clarke, Dale McCormick, Bonnie Porta, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Mary Herman, Chris Hastedt, Beth Newlands Campbell, Susan Collins, Sarah Standiford, Charlotte Gould, Jill Duson, Laura Fortman, Olympia Snowe.
BBQ chicken drumstick and a baked potato topped with chili and Pineland Farms cheddar cheese — just one of the many meals the Preble Street Central Kitchen prepares daily for people experiencing homelessness. #PrebleStreetFoo dFriday
