History
In 1991 Prince of Peace began a soup kitchen. In 1995 this ministry became officially incorporated as The Gettysburg Community Soup Kitchen, which now serves 10,000 meals Monday-Saturday at Prince of Peace. In 2000 the Church completed a renovation and expansion of its facilities. As part of that project, the soup kitchen was enlarged to accommodate the growing numbers of guests who come to be fed.
