Walk A Mile Soup Supper
"
The generous will themselves be blessed,
for they share their food with the poor
." Proverbs 22:9
On Wednesday, March 21, we will host our 4th Annual "Walk a Mile" Soup Supper, a simple soup and bread dinner to mirror the experience that thousands of hungry Americans face each day dining in soup kitchens. You are invited to join us in the SBA cafeteria from 5:00 to 7:00. Members of our lacrosse team will be present to help serve the meal.
Several faculty and staff members will be making soup, but interested soup makers are invited to bring a crockpot or large pot of their favorite soup. Soup can be dropped off the day of the event between 3:00 and 4:15 to be reheated by us or can be brought hot to the event. Please email Theresa Hartey if you are interested in making soup.
[email protected]
Our students have worked closely with Face to Face through the years, and we are excited for this opportunity to partner with them and come together during the Lenten season. The cost for dinner will be $5 per person or $20 per family. Payment can be made at the door. All proceeds will be donated directly to Face to Face Soup Kitchen. Thank you for your support!
