Downtown Hope Center


The Downtown Soup Kitchen/Hope Center began over 45 years ago in a garage, fueled by a vision to share the love of God with Alaskans in need. Operating out of a little red house on 4th Avenue, they provided over 300 cups of soup each day to homeless and low-income individuals and families. In a little yellow A-frame next door to the soup kitchen, they offered hot showers, laundry services, and clothing donated by the community. They expanded their facility and services in 2012 when they moved into our new building on 3rd Avenue. ​​​
