The first week of our Round Up! campaign is drawing to a close. As of Monday night, we’ve had almost 16,000 people participate, raising over $9,700 for the IFC and OCIM food pantries!
Our demo coordinator, Lisa Woodward, created this soup recipe to use fresh winter vieggies (onion, carrot, and kale) along with nonperishable groceries (canned tomatoes, beans, and pasta). We’ll be sending recipes to the food pantries along with the winter veggies purchased with the income from the Round Up! campaign.
