Creating a place for healthy community to grow

Soulkitchen invests in healthy and vibrant communities by welcoming the marginalized and lonely to the table and into the kitchen.  With decades of experience in the hospitality industry and pastoral care, Hannes and Louise Tischhauser offer training, friendship, networking ideas, inspiration and ongoing practical input.  Soulkitchen works in the kitchen, at the supermarket, with the churches, on the streets and around the table. We strive to offer more than food. We work to build resilient communities through honest and real relationships and good food.

"PERHAPS OUR FAVOURITE PART OF THE WORK IS THE OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE TO HELP PEOPLE TO FIND CONFIDENCE, FIND FRIENDS, MANAGE MONEY, EAT WELL AND BECOME BETTER EQUIPPED TO LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.”

Our IGA Grocery partner, Antony says “Not all the food we bring into our store sells. Perfectly edible food that just isn't fit for our shelves had for years, been thrown into the dumpsters. No more! With Soulkitchen, we've found a partner that takes those damaged, imperfect produce items and turns them into community, hope and nourishment for people who need a helping hand! This really is a feel good story!”
