Description: | The Soup Kitchen for the Jewish Poor was founded in Spitalfields in January 1854 to supply soup, bread and meat to poor members of the Jewish community twice a week during the winter. The kitchen closed during World War II due to rationing. It did not reopen after the war, but the charity continued distributing bread and groceries to those in need. In 1991 its building in Brune Street closed and its remaining functions were taken over by the welfare charity Jewish Care. The Jewish Children's Penny Dinners Fund had a similar aim, as its name makes clear, and in this document the two charities agreed to share the use of a building on Butler Street. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Out of copyright.
