Mother's Kitchen

A Soup Kitchen Inspired by Amma

On the second Saturday of each month, Mother's Kitchen volunteers gather at Trinity Lutheran Church in Manhattan — at 164 West 100th Street, off Amsterdam Avenue — to cook and serve a warm vegetarian meal for those in need. Volunteers help with everything from setup and food preparation to cooking, serving and cleanup; newcomers are always welcome (please bring an apron and a hair covering).

"If we have love and compassion in our hearts, then we will wholeheartedly serve those who suffer from lack of food, clothing and shelter."

— Amma

A Movement of Compassion

Mother's Kitchen was founded in 1996, when devotees inspired by Amma began serving a small soup kitchen with meals twice a month. It has since grown to more than 40 chapters across the United States, Canada and Costa Rica. 

Volunteers from MA Center NY have been actively participating in various Mother's Kitchen projects. We prepare and serve food for those in need in the NY/NJ area.

Mother’s Kitchen - New York is a soup kitchen inspired by Amma’s love and compassion.
