Soup Sundays
Each second Sunday of the month, approximately 125 quarts of gourmet
soups are sold for $4 a pint and $7 a quart. For each dollar netted
from soup sales or collected in the Soup Sunday offering, over $4
of food is purchased via church and city programs to feed the hungry
in Memphis. Money
raised from donations and soup purchases is given to support the Mid-South Food
Bank and the Calvary Community Breakfast.
Soup Sunday volunteers prepare the soups the Saturday
morning before Soup Sunday. Their efforts lead to a profit of $10,000
annually.

Ann Cole.
December's soups are: David's Chili and St. Nicholas Soup
