The Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter (NSK&S) is a private, non-profit organization providing food, emergency shelter, housing, and advocacy to poor and homeless men, women and families with children in Nashua NH.

The result of a merger between the Nashua Soup Kitchen (created in 1981) and the Nashua Area Shelter for the Homeless (1984), the Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter in 1989 has been continuously in operation since it began serving soup and sandwiches three days a week. In 2014, the NSK&S moved its operation to 2 Quincy Street, in a renovated building. In 2018, NSKS became the first solar-powered nonprofit in Nashua.Thanks to ReVision Energy. The solar system is expected to save roughly $176,282 over the life of the system and produce approximately 43,080 kilowatt-hours of clean electricity per year. This reduces more than 45,000 pounds of carbon pollution annually.

In partnership with Saint Patrick’s Parish, NSKS announces its plans to convert the former Spring Street Sacred Heart School into emergency shelter by the year 2021.
