That’s a wrap! The 2023 Ford Soup Sunday was a true success.
Many thanks to the dozens of sponsors, restaurants, judges, patrons and volunteers who made this event possible.
In its 30th year, Our Kids Soup Sunday:
- Served 290 gallons of delicious soup
- Raised over $100,000 that will be crucial to Our Kids medical clinic in 2023 and beyond.
Your support helps Our Kids stand in the gap for every child and family struggling with sexual abuse in Middle Tennessee.
Congratulations to the winners!
