ISLAND CITY â The COVID-19 pandemic will not sideline Shelter From the Stormâs popular and long-running Soup Supper fundraiser this spring.
Shelter From the Stormâs Soup Supper has been conducted annually for about three decades, and this yearâs event will operate with a twist to allow for social distancing.
âWe wanted to honor the tradition,â said Jamie Landa, executive director of Shelter From the Storm, a nonprofit that provides services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking.
In past years, Soup Supper participants picked up donated handmade bowls at the event, enjoyed a dinner there, and then took their bowls home. This year, the supper will not serve any soup because of social distancing restrictions. However, donors still will receive bowls and meals.
