Big Mama’s Kitchen is serving free soup and cornbread daily to anyone who walks in, no questions asked. Instead of letting leftover soup go to waste, the restaurant is donating it at the end of each day to local groups that can safely store and redistribute it.

North Omaha Community Partnership is freezing and storing the donated soup and plans to distribute it directly to neighbors in need — even outside of its normal appointment-only pantry system — as more families face food shortages while SNAP benefits are paused.

BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
