History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 624210-02 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Soup kitchens have been around for centuries, with the first recorded instance dating back to the 18th century in London. However, it wasn't until the Great Depression in the 1930s that soup kitchens became widespread in the United States. During this time, soup kitchens were often run by churches and other charitable organizations to provide food for the unemployed and homeless. In recent years, soup kitchens have continued to serve those in need, but have also expanded their services to include job training, health clinics, and other resources to help people get back on their feet. For example, the Bowery Mission in New York City, which was founded in 1879 as a soup kitchen, now offers a range of services including addiction recovery programs, job training, and medical care.
