We are a collaborative, community-based program that provides fresh and prepared food and community resource information, delivered weekly, to home-bound Portland School District residents and any family affected by serious illness residing in the Portland School District.

To accomplish this mission, we bring together diverse communities for the common good. Everyone and every group has a “seat at our table,” including volunteering and the people we serve. All partners are equally important, and this collaboration is a key piece in the foundation of the program.

Our current cost to operate The Soup Project for a full year is $23,020.79. This includes insurance, website, paper goods, cookies, and fresh ingredients for our soups. In that same year, we prepared and delivered 10,618 meals — bringing our cost to just $2.16 per meal or $4.32 per person (each person receives two meals weekly).

For such a small amount, we’re able to do a tremendous amount of good. 💛

We are a 100% volunteer-driven organization making fresh soups and muffins delivered directly to members of our community. We reconnect our elderly neighbors to their community, show caregivers that they are seen and appreciated, and provide nourishing meals to those living on fixed incomes — helping stretch food budgets while filling days with care and connection.
