Ensuring Enough for All
Soup’s On is a community ministry committed to ensuring that all members of our community might have enough. Along with serving food, this ministry serves gracious acceptance, compassion and love for all who come to share the table.
The Soup Kitchen serves two free evening meals per week and works together with the Steinbach area schools to provide a breakfast and lunch program for students.
By creating partnerships and financial support within the larger community we aspire to make a positive contribution. Community is a gift of God’s grace. It is essential that community touches all levels so we can become stronger together.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me…” Matthew 25:35

I was born in Germany and moved to Canada in 2008, together with my parents and siblings. I have lived in the Steinbach community since then, and have worked at the Steinbach Credit Union since 2014. I love cooking and reading and spending time with family. We also love to be outside and walking with our dogs.
I joined Soup’s On in the beginning of 2025. I love what they do and am happy to be a part of their mission.

I live in Steinbach with my husband Peter. Most of my retirement has been spent managing Soup’s On, doing all the things I love to do! My extra time is filled with 2 grandsons, traveling with our family, gardening and cooking.
Though officially retired as Manager of Soup’s On, you will still find Joy in the kitchen, whipping up meals to share with her Soup’s On family.
In 2025, Joy was awarded the Governor General’s Meritorious Service Medal – Civil Division in honour for her years of service to the community.

I live in Steinbach with my wife of 37 years. We have three children, a grandson, and are looking forward to lots of “grandpa daycare” as more grandchildren arrive. In my free time I enjoy being with our family and watching Jets and Bomber games with them whenever possible.
I began with Soup’s On to fulfill a volunteering desire and have found out over the years that I always seem to gain more than I give when I volunteer.

I live in Steinbach with my husband, both of us are retired. I love to spend time with our grand-kids, helping out at church, curling, Drumming Class and walking.
I love working at Soup’s On as it is something I can do that helps out our community. I go on Tuesday afternoons and help cook for the suppers and have made some great friends doing it.

SUZIE FALK
I’ve always enjoyed helping others and was looking for a way to give back to the community when I was fortunate enough to meet Joy. I’m blessed to have the opportunity to volunteer with her, not only at Soup’s On, but also on the Board alongside others that make up this organization.
As a longtime resident of Steinbach, I see the enormous value of a caring and loving community and the blessings it provides to an individual in a situation of need.
