Access Nutritious Soups from Canada’s First and Only Soup Bank
For many charities and frontline agencies, food is a necessity.
Additionally, the cost and time required to prepare large volumes of food
is overwhelming.
We created the Soup Bank to make sure nutritious, comforting meals reach those who need them most. It is a social enterprise model designed to help charities and frontline agencies reduce food costs and staff time, while still serving high-quality, nourishing food to their communities. It’s a model that sustains our mission, strengthens community, and ensures more Hugs in a Bowl are shared across the country.
When buying and budgeting for food, buy local, support community, and know that you and your donors dollars are making a positive impact? Feel good knowing your purchase not only feeds your clients but also strengthens a Canadian charity to help feed many more.
The Soup Bank operates on an at-cost model. You only pay what it costs to make the soup. There are:
-
No retail mark-ups
-
No transportation fees (thanks to our transportation partner Lineage Logistics, who delivers nationwide in-kind)
-
No waste – soups are produced in an accredited facility, not from leftovers
By accessing the Soup Bank, you can provide more meals with fewer resources, freeing up time and funds for other critical needs.
“ We can’t make it for the price we can buy it at from the Soup Sisters Soup Bank. The cost to buy all the ingredients, when prices are going up all the time, the time to prepare, it all adds up.”
