Become a volunteer at Oma's Soep Nijmegen!

Grandma's Soup Nijmegen brings young and old together. During our Cooking Days, volunteers and seniors make delicious soup together and enjoy each other's company. We also visit seniors staying home during our Soup-at-Home Days . Together, we contribute to reducing loneliness and increasing conviviality in the beautiful city of Nijmegen.

Cooking days

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.

Soup-at-home days

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, 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 1-2 hours. Your smile, friendly chat, or brief moment of connection can make a world of difference for our elderly.
