All donations up to $2,500 to Organic Soup Kitchen will be matched through June 2022.

“We are honored to be selected for this grant,” says Andrea Slaby, Chief Operating Officer at Organic Soup Kitchen. “As soaring inflation and food prices force even more of our residents to experience nutrition and food insecurity, we appreciate the commitment and investment the Jessica and Kevin Brine Foundation and The Giving List are making to our community.” 

Organic Soup Kitchen is proud to partner with The Giving List which, through its magazine and web presence, aims to connect effective nonprofits with generous donors. Their novel matching grant allows interested donors like the Brines a way to amplify their support of community safety net agencies like Organic Soup Kitchen.

When someone is going through chemotherapy, they need healthy and nourishing food more than anything, but most of the time they don’t have the physical and mental energy to get up and do it for themselves. Organic Soup Kitchen does it for them with so much love and care! They work tirelessly in rain or shine to make sure that all their clients get their nutritious soup on time. I feel so blessed and privileged to be a small part of this gem of an organization in our community! I joined hands with them a few years back and I am happy to say that I am here to stay and support this wonderful organization in the years to come!
