Sam Smith, the visionary behind ‘Give A Little More Barossa Community Soup Kitchen’ and Chef at Otherness, expressed his excitement about the community’s continued support: “It’s truly inspiring to witness the collective efforts of our chefs, bakers, sponsors, and the entire community. ‘Give A Little More Barossa Community Soup Kitchen’ allows us to give back and contribute to the well-being of our region. This initiative has the power to spark conversations and raise awareness about the challenges faced by our community. Together, we can build a safer and better life for those at risk.”
Annabelle Elton-Martin, Executive Officer of Foundation Barossa, emphasized the significance of the initiative: “The ‘Give A Little More Barossa Soup Kitchen’ exemplifies the generosity and care within our community. By supporting this event, you are directly contributing to facilitating change as well as supporting initiatives such as youth homelessness prevention, mental health, education scholarships and families on school cards. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in this exciting month long event.”
The initiative represents a strong community partnership between chefs, bakers, Foundation Barossa, Barossa Co-op, Northland Packaging and Barossa Australia.
Businesses and groups are encouraged to leave their lunch at home and take advantage of the pre-order system with 100 serves available. An additional 100 serves will be sold to walk-up customers at Barossa Central, so we encourage you to save the date as each year the soups sell out fast!
Join us at Barossa Central in Nuriootpa every Tuesday in August from 12 noon to savour a delicious soup and bread combination for just $15 per serve.
