I've volunteered at an equivalent of a soup kitchen before (free vegetarian kitchen with volunteer staff) a couple of times. the food was pretty good, a couple of vegetable dishes, tofu, soup and rice. it was frequented mostly by old folks rather than homeless, since I guess the town it was in didn't really have many homeless people. I know bigger cities do have bigger homeless populations though, but nothing like in the west or japan/taiwan/korea.
these kind of veg kitchens exist in most mid-large cities and are staffed by volunteers, most of which are also retired folks, except for the chefs maybe. the groceries are mostly donated, like someone will donate several huge sacks of rice or jugs of cooking oil, or help buy fresh veg etc.
