45th Annual New Hope Soup Day Is Today At First United Methodist Church In Carroll
New Hope’s 45th annual Soup Day fundraiser is today (Thursday) and offers a dual opportunity to enjoy quality, homemade soups and to enrich the lives of individuals with disabilities in the community. Doors open at 11 a.m. at First United Methodist Church in Carroll, 1621 N. Main St. Meals are $15 for adults and include a choice of chicken noodle, chili, or vegetable beef soup, plus a dessert. Dine-in guests can enjoy all-you-can-eat soup, while carryout meals come in 30-ounce containers. New this year, children 10 years old and younger can choose a hot dog or soup meal for $7. New Hope interim Executive Officer Lacie Tedrow says, “For 45 years, Soup Day has brought people together over a homemade meal while supporting the individuals who call New Hope home. The community’s generosity helps provide meaningful experiences, essential items, and assistance when unexpected needs arise.” Proceeds benefit New Hope’s Client Special Needs Fund, which provides rental assistance, basic essentials, Camp Courageous experiences, and other support to clients. New Hope staff and volunteers say the annual soup day makes an extraordinary difference in their day-to-day operations, and they look forward to seeing you there. Meals will be served until 7 p.m. tonight (Thursday) at First United Methodist Church.
