HISTORY
Soup Sisters founded National Soup it Forward Day to encourage everyone to make a difference in each other’s lives through the warm, healing kindness of sharing a bowl of soup.
The Registrar at National Day Calendar® proclaimed the National Soup it Forward Day to be observed annually beginning in 2018.
Soup Sisters is an award-winning national non-profit organization Founded March 3, 2009.
Since that time more than one million servings of nurturing and nourishing soup made by community people has been delivered monthly to forty emergency shelters in North America for women and children fleeing family violence and domestic abuse.
The organization’s founder, Sharon Hapton launched Soup Sisters by celebrating a milestone birthday with a soup-making birthday party that provided the first delivery of soup to the Calgary Women’s Emergency shelter.
That is the simplicity of Sharon’s vision: to give people a way to give back to their community by doing something tangible – getting into the kitchen, spending a night with friends, rolling up their sleeves and creating something heartwarming, heartfelt and with it a message of support to women and kids in crisis.
Now operating in over twenty-five cities Soup Sisters and Broth Brothers deliver the gift of soup by providing a much needed ‘Hug in a Bowl’. Soup it forward with the universal comfort food and for added inspiration, you can find over three hundred soup recipes in the Soup Sisters trilogy of cookbooks.
