One Community, One Goal: 100,000 Pounds of Bean Soup for Those in Need

Thanks to our amazing volunteers and donors,

PROJECT OUR TOWN has packaged

 

80,466 Pounds of Bean Soup to Date! 


—and we’re on a mission to reach


100,000 pounds

by December 31, 2025!


That is tens of thousands more nutritious meals to our neighbors in need.


EVERY POUND MAKES A DIFFERENCE:

Each pound of bean soup creates 8 protein-rich, nutritious meals. That means, together, we'll donate:

 800,000+ servings of food by the end of 2025!


SOUP RECIPIENTS:  Every soup kit reaches those in need through our network of 25+ local food pantries and nonprofit organizations dedicated to alleviating food insecurity.
