Make a lonely elderly person near you happy!

We are Oma's Soep, a fast-growing social enterprise that combats loneliness among the elderly by bringing young and old together. We do this by organizing cozy cooking days in the old-fashioned way, by visiting lonely elderly people in the neighborhood and by organizing extraordinary events. We finance all this by selling our fresh and healthy soups and meals in food service and retail.

We are now active in 10+ cities and we visit more than a thousand elderly people throughout the Netherlands every week. Our goal is to make as many elderly as possible happy and you can help us with that! Every week we currently organize two types of activities throughout the Netherlands.

cooking days

The Cooking Days of Oma's Soep are always dominated by conviviality and fun. It is a unique combination to make delicious soups together with young and old. During the Cooking Days, vegetables are used that would otherwise be thrown away

Cooking days are organized in different locations and participation takes about 3 hours. An afternoon full of board games, tall tales, even more jokes and of course delicious soup!

Soup at home days

With the Soup aan Huis days we reach the elderly who need company the most. We reach a large group of vulnerable elderly people through local GPs, physiotherapists, the supermarket around the corner and many other supporters. Every week we bring packages full of our delicious soup, a motivational card and a surprise at home with the elderly in your area. Take a moment to drink a cup of coffee with your neighbor, take a walk or do something together. The Soup aan Huis day is organized weekly from a fixed location and participation takes about 2-3 hours. Your smile, nice chat or short contact moment can make a world of difference for our elderly .

Everyone is welcome at Oma's Soep and participation is free for both volunteers and the elderly.
