I’ve been sharing the bowls Abigail and I have been painting for the NorthTexas Soup n’ Bowl. Well, today was the
big event, the 6th Annual North Texas Soup n’ Bowl, raising funds
and awareness for Metro Relief.
It’s a great fund raising event where chefs of popular area restaurants
graciously prepare their signature soups to share with guests. The event includes soups, yummy desserts, and
an auction at the Tribute Golf Club. 100% of the proceeds from the event go towards
food for Metro Relief’s food pantry.
In addition to the kids and me volunteering at Metro Relief on Monday &
Wednesday mornings, I also prepare the statistics for the pantry. In January Metro Relief’s food pantry and
volunteers helped distribute food to 501 families, representing 1,871
individuals in our community. These
families consisted of 704 children, 968 adults and 199 senior citizens. A HUGE thank you to the volunteers who helped
make it all possible.
In January we served 36 first time families and 4 families in crisis. Our volunteers assisted guest with 115 job
opportunities and more importantly we were able to pray with 85% of the guests
who came through our doors! Soup n’ Bowl
is Metro Relief’s primary fund raiser for the year and it is a great event.
On a side note, I highly recommend Kenny’s Burger Joint’s Creamy Roasted Jalapeno
Soup!
