Congrats to the winners, and everyone else for making this such a wonderful event! We are always honored to participate. 🥣

With 29 restaurants, 20 churches, we managed to feed 1,000 people in three hours. We went through some 8,000 taster cups and 5,000 bowls of soup! WOW. And just for fun, we have people vote on their favorite, and there were hundreds of votes! Every restaurant received so many votes, so it's clear Porter County is strong and full of soup lovers! By only 6 votes, "Cheeseburger In Paradise Soup" from Graeber Family Farms retains the traveling trophy this year, with Stacks, Pestos, Figs & Fables & The Lunch Box coming in close. But all 29 soups were so good last night. And most importantly, we raised money to help feed those in our community who come to the Hilltop Mission Kitchen, Food Pantry, Community Garden, Childcare, Bookmobile, Mobile Food Pantry, and Preschool! You all are amazing. We had 192 volunteers come out to help, too! What a community! We love you all! We will be posting photos and having more fun today!

This week, we had the honor of hosting another Quilts of Valor Foundation (Northwest Indiana) presentation at Pines Village. 🇺🇸

Five veterans were recognized and wrapped in handmade quilts, each one thoughtfully stitched as a tribute to their service and sacrifice. Quilts of Valor’s mission is simple and meaningful. To cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting, healing quilts that say what words sometimes cannot.

We are grateful to the dedicated volunteers who create these beautiful quilts, and we are honored to stand alongside them in recognizing the men and women who have given so much for our country.
