Cabarrus Meals on Wheels’ Soup Sampling fundraiser benefits elderly and homebound residents.
📅 Oct 29th from 11:30am to 1:30pm
📍 City Club at Gibson Mill, 325 McGill Ave. NW, Concord
This tasty fundraiser, now in its 18th year, warms both the tummy and the heart as it pairs the opportunity to sample soups from some of Cabarrus’ favorite restaurants with the goal of raising funds to support the elderly and homebound in our community.
- This organization is dedicated to a beautiful mission: providing a hot meal and a warm hello to the elderly and homebound residents of Cabarrus County.
Cabarrus Meals on Wheels prepares nutritious meals each weekday morning for disadvantaged seniors in Kannapolis, Concord, and surrounding areas and then relies on loyal volunteers to deliver them while simultaneously offering a check-in at the time of delivery. A warm meal, friendly smile, and safety check allow these seniors to continue living independently in their own homes, where they want to be.
By purchasing a $30 ticket to this event, you not only satisfy your taste buds with the best soups in town but also lend a hand to this heartwarming cause. Kimberly Strong, Executive Director for CMOW said that last year was one of their best-attended events, with over 600 people in attendance.
So, what can you expect at this year’s Soup Sampling event? Here’s a taste of what awaits you.
All-You-Can-Eat Signature Soups. Local restaurants and caterers will come together to compete for the coveted title of “Best Soup.” Your ticket grants you access to a cornucopia of delicious soups that will leave your taste buds dancing with delight.
- Whether you crave a comforting bowl of chicken noodle or a zesty gumbo, they’ve got you covered. The Smoke Pit and Basilico Italiano will be participating again this year, along with new participants; Grounds & Vine, Rachel’s Place, Asian Café, and Table 11.
Complimentary Breads
What’s soup without some warm, crusty bread? To complement the soup selections, you’ll find an array of freshly baked bread to round out your meal. The perfect accompaniment to soak up every last drop of that savory broth.
Fabulous Desserts
A meal isn’t truly complete without dessert, and the Sunday Soup Sampling doesn’t disappoint. You’ll be treated to a selection of delectable desserts that will satisfy your sweet tooth. From decadent chocolate treats to fruity delights, there’s a dessert for everyone.
Soup Showdown
As you savor each spoonful, you’ll have the opportunity to cast your vote for your favorite soup. Your vote could help crown the local winner and earn bragging rights for the restaurant or caterer that created your favorite dish.
Silent Auction
Besides enjoying delicious food, you can participate in a silent auction filled with incredible prizes. It’s a chance to win some fantastic items while contributing to a worthy cause.
This event is more than just a soup sampling; it’s a celebration of community and compassion. It brings people together to support a noble cause while indulging in the finest soups and desserts that Cabarrus County has to offer.
So, mark your calendar for Oct 29th, and join CMOW at the City Club at Gibson Mill for an afternoon of heartwarming soups, delightful desserts, and the satisfaction of knowing that your ticket purchase supports Cabarrus Meals on Wheels’ mission to make a difference in the lives of the elderly and homebound in our community.
