Soup & Sandwich with Purpose is Back this Winter
Following the success of last winter's campaign, Soup & Sandwich with Purpose returns throughout June and July, bringing together great food, meaningful conversations and local community impact.
Businesses consistently told us they loved the fresh sandwiches, delicious homemade soups and the opportunity to learn more about the challenges and opportunities facing young people in our region.
Many workplaces booked multiple lunches after experiencing their first one, while others chose to become more involved through clothing drives, referrals, volunteering, sponsorship and other forms of community support.
More than just a lunch, Soup & Sandwich with Purpose is an opportunity for teams to connect, learn and discover how they can help create brighter futures for local young people.
