A MESSAGE FROM SOUTH OF SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION

Our neighborhood's newest tradition...   What is Soup Group? You get matched with 5-6 neighbors One person makes a big batch of soup Other members pick up their share to take home Rotate cooks, repeat weekly HOW IT WORKS About 5 people will rotate with one person making a big pot of homemade soup on a weekly basis. The other group members come to pick up their share at the same time. Everyone gets a homemade soup for their houshold each week, but only has to cook once every 5 weeks. Group members often chat and trade recipes during the weekly pick up. Some even eat all together! SOSNA will facilitate convening groups, and then you can decide what works best for your group in terms of frequency, batch size, pick up times...   SIGN UP Sign up here by October 24th and you'll be matched by Halloween https://goo.gl/forms/iVTLJWyRgx82HkBF3 Have an interested neighbor who is not on the internet? Call or swing by the SOSNA office during our normal office hours and we'll get you signed up. Once you sign up, SOSNA will match you up based on your location, household size, and any dietary restrictions. You'll take it from there, but we can help your group think through the logistics like how soup transport will be handled, when to have pick-ups, and how much soup to make.  FAQs WHEN SHOULD I SIGN UP? TODAY!! We'll be accepting folks between now and October 24th! WHEN WILL SOSNA SOUP GROUP START? By Halloween we'll match you up with a soup group. IS THERE A COST TO JOIN A SOSNA SOUP GROUP? Nope. Soup Group members will be responsible for the cost of ingredients and containers for soup transport, other than that there is no cost for a soup group. WHAT IF I DON’T/CAN’T EAT MEAT, GLUTEN, PEANUTS, DAIRY, SEAFOOD…..? We'll match group up that are compatible based on major dietary restrictions.
