We provide everyone with access to healthy SoupMeals.
Our handcrafted SoupMeals are an easy, accessible, and sustainable way to provide both food security and nutrition to low-income seniors and those with cancer or chronic illness. We play an essential role in making nutrition accessible to all in our community by making organic soup – from scratch, broth and all – and supporting local farms by utilizing their fresh produce.
Why it matters
Food that is truly nutrient dense makes a difference in the lives of those experiencing cancer, chronic illness or a disability. We believe that everyone deserves to have access to not just food, but actual nutrition.
The need for food and nutritional security is at an all-time high, especially among our low-income residents, seniors, women and marginalized community members. Individuals and families are being forced to decide between paying rent and bills and putting food on the table. Additionally, there are more than 18,000 unique cases of cancer in Santa Barbara County. More than 70% of our clients have cancer and 95% are living with chronic illness or disability. On top of that, access to food that supports health and healing is something that’s often reserved for those more privileged in our community.
