The difference is that we will be making soup in bulk to donate 140 cups of soup, enough to feed West Anchorage High School’s food insecure students for a week. We started a several weeks ago and the students LOVE IT, as do we. The evidence is clear: when kids are well-fed, they perform better, and together we can make a difference by ensuring they are fed.

Through the Anchorage School Business Partnership Program, we have adopted West Anchorage High School.   At West, on any given day, 15-25 students leave school and have no food at home.  In fact, on most days approximately 70 West High Students have no home at all; they are homeless. So, the Dirty Apron and the Anchorage School Business Partnership have launched Soup Service.

Now booking events each Monday (12PM or 6PM) through the end of 2024.  Contact us for more details at letscook@thedirtyapron.com or 907.297.8425
