Our

History

The Common Good Soup Kitchen, located in Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island, Maine, has a proud and storied history of nourishing anyone in need. Supported by local volunteers and honoring the legacy of its key founder, Larry Stettner, the kitchen serves free, nutritious meals, cultivating a sense of community and offering live music to island residents, regardless of their financial situation. Larry's vision of providing care and sustenance to the island community remains the driving force behind the kitchen today.

Programs

At Common Good Soup Kitchen, we believe food is more than sustenance — it is a way to gather, to care, and to create belonging. Our services are rooted in dignity, warmth, and the joy of sharing a meal.
