    Thank You!

    Thank you all so much for pledging your support to this inspiring project.  While we didn't reach the tipping point, your support has been heartening to those of us working for positive change in the city.

    If you would still like to make a contribution to offset costs for students attending the Heritage Works summer camp, you can donate directly through their website.

    Again, thank you so much for your support, we couldn't keep going without you.

    -The Soup Team
