The Stewpot Relocating to Salvation Army Building in Little Rock

The Stewpot Moves to New Home in Salvation Army Building

A major relocation is underway for The Stewpot, a nonprofit dedicated to serving the city’s most vulnerable populations. After nearly 50 years of providing meals to the homeless and underprivileged at First Presbyterian Church, The Stewpot has served its final meal at the church and has moved to the Salvation Army building on Markham Street. This transition signals a new era for the organization and the community it serves.

The Salvation Army building, approximately 1.5 miles northwest of The Stewpot’s previous location, will continue to host the free lunches The Stewpot is known for. This move not only marks a significant shift for the organization but also underscores its commitment to maintaining its mission of feeding those in need without question. The Stewpot’s simple yet powerful promise to “feed whoever comes through the door” remains at the core of its operations.

As the organization settles into its new home, The Stewpot will continue to offer a range of social services that extend beyond meal provision. From jobless individuals to the elderly and those struggling with physical or mental health issues, The Stewpot’s comprehensive programs are designed to support and uplift diverse groups of people. This transition to the Salvation Army building will provide The Stewpot with enhanced infrastructure to better serve the community.

The Salvation Army’s own extensive network of services across the United States provides a complementary framework for The Stewpot’s activities. Alongside their core services like food pantries and homeless shelters, The Salvation Army also offers a wide range of support programs, including disaster relief, rehabilitation, and veteran services. The synergy between these organizations aims to further amplify the positive impact on the community.

With the transition complete, The Stewpot is poised to continue its vital work, building on a legacy of compassion and social stewardship. This relocation marks a significant milestone in the organization’s history and underscores its commitment to serving the most vulnerable and underprivileged individuals in Little Rock.

Services and Programs:

  • Free hot meals for the homeless, jobless, elderly, and individuals with physical or mental health issues
  • Comprehensive social services and support for diverse groups of people
  • Job training, education, and life skills programs to help individuals escape poverty
  • Support for domestic abuse victims and those affected by human trafficking
  • Disaster relief efforts and rehabilitation programs

The move to the Salvation Army building marks a significant step forward for The Stewpot’s operations, ensuring that the organization remains positioned to provide vital services and support to the community for years to come.
