The Penticton Soupateria is open for lunch 365 days of the year.
Attendance varies, but most often there are at least 100 diners each day. Anyone who is in need can enjoy a lunch of hot soup, a sandwich and a dessert, socialize with others and enjoy a welcoming environment where they feel respected. On major holidays the guests enjoy a special sit-down turkey dinner. Guests are required to sign in, not necessarily by their formal name but to keep track of the numbers served.
