Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Son’day Soup Kitchen

Posted on 09. Feb, 2010 by Front of House in Underground

Underground Son was recently inspired on a Friday morning when we joined Breakfast at Selma’s in Ann Arbor. Selma’s is a breakfast salon which serves up the community every Friday (us along with 60 plus other people in a private home) to raise awareness and funds for local farmers, food co-ops and urban gardens.

Son asked if we could do it. We aren’t quite ready for every Friday.

So…

Please mark your calendars for Sunday, February 14th. Valentine’s Day

Underground Son will be hosting the first ever Son’day Soup Kitchen between 3 and 7PM. You are welcome to stop-in anytime and partake. We plan to have two or three different style soups simmering away and a pot of mac & cheese on the stove for the kids (box style, my favorite).

We will have tea, coffee, water and hot chocolate to drink. You are welcome to bring stronger libations if you wish.

As the Soup Kitchen title may imply, we are not only hoping to feed your bellies we are hoping to spread a little Valentine’s love as well. We ask that you donate between $5 and $15 per adult (depending on your wallet and your belly!) and what you feel is appropriate if your kids eat.

We will resend this email next week and try to establish a general body count. This will be our first run so we apologize in advance if late-comers have to scrape the soup pots!

We will be donating proceeds to:

Royal Oak Animal Shelter

and

Earthworks Urban Farm

Saturday volunteers to slice, dice and make merry will be welcome. Those details TBD.
