8. From Soup to Solutions: Knoxville Event Fuels Community Projects
Knoxville SOUP (SOUP) is back with another night of food, fun, and funding for community-driven projects! Join the event on Tuesday, Sept. 23, at Kerbela Temple, 315 Kerbela Ave.
Up to four worthy causes will pitch their community-enhancing projects to the audience in hopes of winning the SOUP “pot.”
With a suggested minimum donation of $5, attendees get to enjoy soup and other goodies donated by local businesses, listen to presentations on creative projects to improve the community, and vote on their favorite project to win the pot of money collected at the door.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with brief presentations and Q&As starting at 6 p.m., then dinner and voting follow. The winning project will be announced around 8 p.m.
For those who are in the foodservice industry, they are looking for donations of soup, salad, bread/cornbread/biscuits, or dessert. While they are expecting approximately 170 attendees, they ask food vendors to provide enough of whatever they are donating to serve 50, with hopefully several places donating to cover all attendees.
Items for a raffle are also being accepted. The raffle is a successful part of the event and helps to fund future SOUP events as well as get your business name out as a SOUP supporter.
If you have food donation or raffle items, please send an email to con...@KnoxvilleSOUP.org. In exchange for your contribution, your business will be recognized on their Facebook page, on the KnoxvilleSoup.org web page, and in a printed program at the event. Knoxville SOUP is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so all donations are fully tax deductible.
SOUP was started in Knoxville in March 2015 and so far, has raised nearly $13,000 for community projects. It is modeled after the most well-known, Detroit SOUP. Now, over 200 SOUP dinners are held throughout the world - including Canada, Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, South and Central America, Asia, and Europe.
