Building community, one act at a time.
You don't have to quit your day job to make a difference in the lives of others.
Many thanks to Integrity Global, who donated 15 laptops no longer needed in South Sudan since their USAID project was cancelled - but will be given to people in the DMV through our Digital Empowerment Program.

"When I share KindSoup (whether with neighbors, food banks or those who need a little support) it's like sharing a bowl of caring. The bonus is the fellowship of the other KindSoup cooks. We laugh, tell stories, share cooking tips." - KindSoup chef Betsy Broder

Deb in NYC made KindSoup, packed containers to share, saw a woman carrying heavy bags on a long pole across her shoulders-offered her some
"She broke into the biggest smile," Deb said, laid down her heavy load, and ate the still warm, full of goodness soup
