How should we say "food bank" and "soup kitchen" in Spanish?

We are providing a bilingual list of human and social services available to our students' parents, including the names of several churches with food banks where the families can receive free food, as well as the Salvation Army which has a soup kitchen. How should we say "food bank" and "soup kitchen" in Spanish? I am guessing that these nouns will not translate literally.

Perfect! We use these at our local food bank and soup kitchen where most of our clients son Mejicaños del otro lado. - 0057ed01, ENE 19, 2010

WE also use:
comedor de beneficencia
comedor social
comedor parroquial (if this is a church, this might fit fine)
