About Our Organization
How It All Began…
Back in 1989, Jimmy and Phyllis Rotonno started with a simple yet powerful mission: to serve those in need. What began as handing out 40-60 sandwich bags daily to the homeless and delivering meals to local shut-ins quickly grew into something much bigger.
Through the years, and with the unwavering support of volunteers, generous donors, and local businesses, Jimmy’s soup kitchen has remained a beacon of hope for the community.
Where We Are Today…
Today, ‘Our Father’s House Soup Kitchen’, also known as ‘Our Father’s House Family Services’, has blossomed into a full-service ministry under the leadership of Katie Crissy, our dedicated CEO and Program Director.
Every day, we serve a hot, four-course meal to 160-200 individuals in need, along with a bagged meal to take with them. Rain or shine, 5 days a week, we’re here to provide nourishment and care.
But we’re more than just a soup kitchen. Our services include:
- A welcoming environment
- A clothing boutique offering essentials like jeans, sneakers, T-shirts, and more
- Personal hygiene products
- Recycled bicycles for transportation
- A volunteer barber to provide haircuts and dignity
Your support makes all of this possible. If you’d like to help, visit our donations page to explore the many ways you can make a difference in the lives of South Florida’s less fortunate.
