Soup Bowl Benefit
The 16th Annual Soup Bowl Benefit was truly one to remember.
With nearly 300 guests in attendance, our community showed up in a powerful way to stand against food insecurity. Because of your support, each $30 ticket will help provide up to 120 meals for our neighbors.
Guests selected from hundreds of hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind bowls generously donated by talented local artists and sampled more than 20 delicious soups prepared by incredible local restaurants and chefs. The room was filled with laughter, connection and a shared commitment to making sure our neighbors have food on their tables.
This event would not have been possible without our amazing volunteers. From setup to serving to cleanup, their energy and dedication made the entire afternoon seamless and welcoming.
Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, created, cooked and served. Together, we are making a difference one bowl at a time.
