I’m on my own journey right now and I needed a clean shower. The people I volunteered with are super friendly and enjoyable to be around. Anyone who rates this less then 5 stars hasn’t had to go without anything or are super stuck up. If you need a place to rest in a chair and get some shade/meal and shower; utilize this place and support!!!

This place has been touched by God and trusties want to close it while you people are trying to improve to be able to help more. Who in there right mind dies that. I want to be there tonight but I can not because I work and have a home again partially because of Marys Kitchen a very important link in the chain of independence and hope to change ones life. I can not find your email to wright my support so I am doing it here. God bless you all Kenneth

Mary’s Kitchen has with mercy and compassion done everything possible to assist the homeless. Unfortunately the City of Orange not only has no real understanding about homelessness m but they are more interested in money than humanity and are trying everything foul to get rid of Mary’s.

(Reviewed in 2019) I utilized Mary's kitchen when the Mobile Optical Unit was there for exams. The Doctors and Assistants from Serve the People in Santa Ana were, honestly, they were amazing. One of the nicest teams I have ever had assist me, for any medical need. They're there once a month, so I would check the schedule through Mary's Kitchen. Mary's Kitchen has amazing people working / volunteering, I'm sure, their own precious time to help guide the homeless and less fortunate in the right direction. The food was very good. I was able to get a breakfast at one time, so it was nice to have a warm meal and which they serve that two times a day I think breakfast and lunch and they are done by 2 p.m. I'm told. Keep up the good work and thank you for helping US that need YOU.

Questions & Answers

Can I just show up and volunteer anytime?

Alaina Poimboeuf | Aug 22, 2019
Michael Harrison | Aug 22, 2019

You are asked to go to website "maryskitchen.org" and go to the "volunteer" tab the submit your info showing dates, times and how many volunteers (if any) will be joining you. If you are volunteering anyone under 18, they must be accompanied by an adult. If you just show up, you may be turned down as they may have enough people already, especially Saturdays (they always have a lot of volunteers.

At Mary's kitchen you will meet people from all backgrounds, some of them can be a little rough. 9 and 10 may be a little bit young to mingle with the population but i wager there may be useful things for your scouts to do behind the scenes. +1 714-633-0444 this is the number i got from the web give them a call
