Soul Food Cafe Mission

Conway, Arkansas

All-volunteer Conway mission operating Tuesdays with food boxes, hot meals, clothing, household and hygiene support, showers, laundry, haircuts, and administration.

Soul Food Cafe Mission is a faith-based, all-volunteer Conway organization serving the public every Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Its current schedule and process identify an open market, administration, clothing, household and health-and-beauty support, a bakery and drink station, showers, laundry, haircuts, hot meals, and food-box distribution. The mission statement invites churches and people of faith to help distribute food, feed guests, provide clothing, or minister, while stating that religious participation is not required for people receiving help. Donations are accepted Tuesdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the Mission says pickups depend on arranging a volunteer. No public volunteer application, age rule, shift assignment, or screening process is published, so both paths below require direct confirmation.
