Meet Lauren!

Lauren is one of our wonderful front-of-house volunteers, and the kind of person who makes Soul shine.

Lauren greets every Soul Guest with kindness, warmth, and a smile that speaks volumes — turning each meal she serves into a gesture of care and respect.

But her kindness doesn’t stop there. Lauren’s the first to jump in and lend a hand to the little things: wiping down tables, cleaning chairs, mopping the floors, and checking that the bathrooms are spotless. Lauren makes sure that when our Guests walk into Soul, they find a place that is welcoming, clean, and lovingly cared for.

And there’s more — behind the scenes, Lauren and her partner have been quietly running a small optometry clinic for our Guests. Thanks to their generosity, over 100 people have received prescription glasses. Because of them, our Guests are truly seeing the world more clearly.

Thank you, Lauren – you make Soul warmer, brighter, and better, just by being you.
