On September 8, 1980, the Mercy INN Soup Kitchen served its first meal to hungry people in Wyandanch and to this day it continues to be located in the basement of the Trinity Lutheran Church. Recently its name was changed to the Mercy Soup Kitchen of Wyandanch. We are a volunteer, not-for-profit, non-sectarian, community-based organization that believes all human beings are interdependent and that society heals itself by caring for the least of its brethren.
Over 26,000 free, hot noontime meals are served yearly. An equal number of take-home meals are also given to the homeless, disabled, elderly, children and poor people of the community. No questions are asked of our guests. All who come to us are served with dignity and respect.
