In celebration of our 75th anniversary, we're making 10 special donations of $7,500 each to community organizations throughout the year! The 9th recipient of one of the ten anniversary donations is the Blue Door Soup Kitchen.

The Blue Door Soup Kitchen was originally established in 1982 in response to a growing need for assistance in the community due to layoffs in the mining industry. Today, the soup kitchen serves over 750 meals each week to those who are experiencing homelessness or food insecurity, and provides a safe, non-judgmental environment in which to receive the basic help needed to open doors to a brighter future. The soup kitchen relies on the generosity of our community for food and financial donations to keep with kitchen stocked, and the more than 50 volunteers who prepare and serve food with care and kindness.

"We are profoundly grateful to Sudbury Credit Union for this generous $7,500 donation in celebration of their 75th anniversary. Operating on the front lines, the Blue Door Soup Kitchen relies heavily on community partners to keep our doors open and our kitchen running. This funding will directly support our daily meal program, ensuring we can continue providing hot, nutritious lunches and a safe, welcoming environment for Sudbury’s most vulnerable citizens. In times of rising costs, this gift provides critical stability, allowing us to nourish both bodies and spirits, and reminds our guests that their community stands behind them." Marc Leduc, Board Chair, Blue Door Soup Kitchen.

“We are very happy to name the Blue Door Soup Kitchen as this month’s recipient of our anniversary donation. The soup kitchen provides nutritious meals to individuals in need, as well as a place where community members feel welcomed and cared for. We are proud to support the Blue Door Soup Kitchen with this month’s donation.” Mimi Regimbal, CEO of Sudbury Credit Union.
