food pantry needs

A ticket to the South Side Soup Contest—or a fond memory thereof—is more than an afternoon spent tasting soups and exploring businesses. It’s a ticket to lending a helping hand. Each year, a portion of the event’s proceeds goes to the Brashear Association food pantry, which provides vital support to neighbors in need. And while non-perishable food items are essential, your neighbors also need everyday household items like toothpaste, soap, and blankets.

The good news is that there are many ways you can help by bringing a nonperishable food or essential household item with you when you check-in.

Donations are welcome at any time during the year! Please call (412) 431-2236 to make arrangements.
