Mission Statement

The San Martin de Porres Soup Kitchen was formed in July 1992 to help feed the poor and hungry.  With the cooperation of the City Fathers and the Director of the HUD Program, we operate at the Apple Valley Senior Center five times a week, Monday through Friday; serving a hot lunch and will provide a food box to anyone referred to us by a Church or State Agency.

Who Are We Helping?

The SMDP Soup Kitchen serves all who are hungry and are in need of food, regardless of ethnicity, race or religion.

Covid-19 Safety Practices

SMDP Soup Kitchen's New Safety Precautionary Measures Due To COVID-19

  • In order to keep our Clients and our Volunteers as safe and healthy as possible, our Volunteer Force has been limited to no more than four persons at a time. We also no longer provide an in-dining food service for our Clients, but rather provide them with a warm, hearty and nutritious sack lunch at the door. Masks are required for our Volunteers and Clients.


  • We go in daily and disinfect all door knobs, light switches, and all surfaces with Clorox solution. We provide gloves to our Volunteers and also have additional masks for our Volunteers and Clients who do not have one.


  • We are actively encouraging social distancing and have added 6 feet safe distance markings on the exterior of our facility where sack lunches are distributed. 


  • Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic, SMDP Kitchen will continue to address the hunger needs of our clients of the low-income community of Apple Valley, along with working with other agencies and non-profits to assist with their food distributions. Taking all necessary precautions and working together, we can all get through this Pandemic.
