To recognize Christ, to love one another, to share life, "In the breaking of the Bread."

The Lord’s Diner is a faith-based charity, located at the corner of Broadway and Central in downtown Wichita, Kansas.

Thanks to more than 175 local companies who donated labor and materials for the construction of the building and countless donors who provided generous financial support to get the project going, the nightly meal service at The Lord’s Diner takes place in a debt-free facility.

The Lord’s Diner serves dinner nightly from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including holidays. A small paid staff, assisted by more than 5,500 volunteers representing many faiths and denominations prepare and serve a hot, nutritious meal in a spirit of compassion, respect and loving service. The Lord’s Diner is currently serving an average of 400 meals nightly.

Our Mission:
To recognize Christ, to love one another, to share life, "In the breaking of the Bread."

Our Vision:
Responding to Christ’s call to feed the hungry, The Lord’s Diner, a not-for-profit soup kitchen operated by the community, for the community, and sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Wichita, will provide an evening meal seven days a week, 365 days a year. It seeks to achieve this goal in a spirit of compassion, respect, and loving service through cooperative efforts with churches, individuals, and organizations.


“Then the King will say . . . ‘for I was hungry and you gave me food: I was thirsty and you gave me drink . . . Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?’ . . . the King will say to them in reply, ‘Amen I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’”

Matthew 25:34-40
