Soup & Bread
Soup & Bread started in 2015 when friend Andrea Diebler approached The Little Fleet to start the event inspired by her work with a similar event in Chicago. Since then, it’s evolved into a monthly series that runs each November through March. We are proud to have raised over $45,000 for local charities.
How it works
Local restaurants and chefs donate soup and bread. You pay what you want. All funds raised go directly to the nonprofit of the month.
We are endlessly grateful for the friends and chefs that continue to donate their time, skills and resources for Soup & Bread. Not to mention you–our community–for showing up and helping out.
Participating restaurants/chefs include: Farm Club, Cooks’ House, Bubbie’s, Modern Bird, S2S, Lakeview Hill, Taproot, Umbo, Common Good, Oakwood, Artisan, Blackstar Farms and more.
