Our
Mission
The mission of the Common Good Soup Kitchen, since its founding as a nonprofit organization in 2009, has been to provide food and friendship to any and all individuals of the Mount Desert Island community.
Our
History

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.
