Welcome to the website of the 'Saint Prophet Elijah - Volunteer Kitchen' Foundation

The St. Elijah the Prophet Foundation - Volunteer Kitchen was established for the benefit of poor residents of Sofia, at the St. Elijah the Prophet Church, in the Druzhba district. For 25 years, over 400 people have been receiving two hot meals and a package of additional products every Saturday - a sandwich, bread, milk, fruit, canned goods, desserts and everything else, which, thanks to dozens of donors, is collected every week.

The organization's goal is to collect, prepare, and donate food to people for more than one meal. To attract dozens of volunteers every week to give them the opportunity to educate themselves and their children in charity and care for others.

In the last 10 years alone, more than 10,000 people have volunteered in the kitchen. Corporate, student and university groups, and many individuals, often entire families, have donated their labor to us, and many of them continue to do so.

Dozens of volunteers have taken on the responsibility of being even more involved, actively participating in the organization and conduct of the shifts, in their capacity as “on-duty officers.” They are the volunteers' mentors and take full responsibility for the successful conduct of each shift.
