We meet the last Sunday of each month for a dinner of delicious homemade soups.
To quote Sunday Soup, here's what we're doing:
"The Soup Grant is a grassroots model for funding small to medium sized creative projects through community meals. The basic formula is that a group of people come together to share a meal and that meal is sold for an affordable price. All the income from that meal is given as a grant to support a creative project. Grant applications are accepted up until the meal, everyone who purchases the meal gets one vote to determine who receives the grant. "
Simple. Interesting. Community-driven. And tasty!

Long after the soup bowls are empty, one local idea is just getting warmed up.
Sunday Soup, started in Phoenixville by Emma Peabody, is an international project that uses local money to fund local creative projects.
"Philanthropy can be an intimidating word, but a new group in Phoenixville is making it very simple. Resident Emma Peabody came across a website for Sunday Soup, a model for “meal-based micro-granting initiatives” which has spread around the world."
