Our second year of Soup For The Soul began with Ironhorse Community collecting over 70 bags filled with fresh ingredients to make Chef Richard’s Lentil Vegetable Soup. Each bag fed 12 people and was distributed by Palm Beach Harvest at a designated site in the county. This one act of kindness by one community was able to feed over 830 food-insecure children and families. The Ibis Community is doing a December collection. We expect an excellent turnout with over 10 community captains drawing on their own sphere of influence to obtain volunteers. In addition to volunteers shopping and filling up bags with soup ingredients, we have received numerous financial donations. This money will be used to purchase bulk food soup ingredients. Palm Beach Harvest just received a request from Palm Beach Meats and Clandestine Culinary to utilize the frozen turkeys they have leftover from Thanksgiving to make Turkey Soup!  Deborah Morgan immediately contacted NCJW’s Soup for the Soul Chair, Laurie Alexander, to see if our Ibis December collection of fresh soup ingredients could be used to make Turkey Vegetable Soup. Our Palm Beach Harvest partnership has provided us the opportunity to work together with other businesses and organizations to meet the need to feed food-insecure children and families. To come full circle with our SOUP FOR THE SOUL program, some volunteers will serve the soup at a designated site in the county! On December 20 from 4-7 pm, the soup will be distributed in quart containers.  We hope to have the press present to mark this meaningful occasion. The world works in strange and wonderful ways!! We do believe that being a part of this volunteer effort Feeds our Soul as well as Feeds those in Need!!
