They managed to get an old building at the corner of Highway 441 and Boynton Beach Boulevard to be donated.They secured the help of the community to convert the premises to a place reflective of a soup kitchen. Local businesses rallied together, providing materials, skilled know-how, and labor to completely renovate the building. The distribution of dry goods and staple food items began with a three days a week schedule in June 1984. October 1984 all the requirements of the Palm Beach County Health Department for serving cooked food had been met and The Soup Kitchen began to serve hot meals.
