A $5,000 gift to a Murray nonprofit feeding ministry could be doubled to $10,000 due to a social media campaign designed to garner votes from community members.
The Soup for the Soul food pantry and soup kitchen received the original gift from Peel and Holland Insurance through a partnership with Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance’s “Make More Happen” awards. Peel and Holland’s strong connections with Soup for the Soul led them to seek out the funding, according to the contest webpage. Multiple staff members of the insurance agency serve on Soup for the Soul’s board of directors or volunteer with the organization.
