Volunteer at Grandma's Soup

Become a volunteer at Grandma's Soup Leeuwarden!

Attention loneliness fighters!

During our traditional, friendly Cooking Days, we spend an afternoon making soup with seniors at community centers or daycare centers, and eating it together. We use vegetables that would otherwise be thrown away. The Cooking Days are held at various locations and last about 2-3 hours. An afternoon filled with board games, plenty of tall tales, even more jokes... and, of course, delicious soup.

With our Soup-at-Home Days, we reach the elderly who need company the most. Every week, our volunteers deliver bags filled with our delicious soup, along with a motivational card and a surprise, to elderly people in your neighborhood. It's all about visiting and having a chat. Soup-at-Home Days are organized weekly from a fixed location, and participation lasts approximately 2-3 hours.

Your smile, friendly chat, or brief moment of connection can make a world of difference for our elderly.

Choose how often you want to help and which activities you'd like to participate in. Would you like to help out with Cooking Days, or perhaps visit regular seniors during Soup-at-Home Days? Register on this page, and we'll contact you to schedule your visit based on your schedule and preferences. We're happy to help!

Oma's Soep sells delicious fresh soups and meals based on grandma's authentic recipe. The proceeds are used to make lonely elderly people happy! At least 50% of the profits from Oma's Soep are donated to the Oma's Soep Foundation. The Foundation organizes weekly activities in various cities throughout the country where young and old are brought together to combat loneliness. Locally, our student boards organize weekly Cooking Days and Soup-at-home days and nationally we organize major events and PR campaigns.
