Málaga’s Santo Domingo soup kitchen is seeking urgent support as it grapples with increased demand, rising food prices and a halt to public-authority funding, SUR in English reported on 30 October 2026. The organisation warned that its ability to continue operating was at risk.
The dining room is on Llano de la Trinidad, where the charity serves people meals including breakfast. The report describes a visitor having coffee, bread with butter and jam, and a pastry. It does not state how many people the kitchen currently serves or how much additional funding it needs.
The pressure comes amid a reported increase in homelessness in Málaga. SUR cited a University of Málaga study finding that the number of people living on the streets has risen by more than 60% since 2024, reaching 300. The report also said a similar number of people spend the night in shelters.
Those figures provide context for the kitchen’s account of growing demand, but the report does not give a breakdown of who uses the service or say how much of the increase is directly linked to homelessness. The charity’s immediate concerns, as described, are more people seeking help alongside higher costs and frozen public funding.
The report did not detail which public grants are affected, when the funding freeze began, or whether the kitchen has set a fundraising target. It also provided no timeline for a decision on the organisation’s future. Readers seeking to support the charity should check directly with Santo Domingo for current donation needs and arrangements.
