Background: The Soup Bowl Benefit has become a staple event in Bloomington over the past dozen years and has grown to provide the largest contribution to the Food Bank’s annual operating budget. The Food Bank is in a time of great need with hunger on the rise throughout Indiana, as in much of the rest of the country, and resources being stretched thin.

The success of the Soup Bowl Benefit can be credited to the wide participation of the Bloomington arts, business and larger communities: potters donate over 600 handmade bowls each year; over a dozen restaurants donate tasty soup; several bakeries donate hearty bread and cookies; local businesses donate door prizes and cash contributions; musicians donate their time and talents; artists donate decorations; dozens of people donate their time to make the event run smoothly; and over 600 people buy tickets and attend the benefit each year.

The 13th Annual Soup Bowl Benefit took place on February 18th and was an incredible success for Hoosier Hills Food Bank, raising nearly $70,000.
