The money raised is donated to organizations working to end hunger and food insecurity. Many artists, school and community groups are contributing bowls, which will be filled with soups and desserts donated by area businesses, restaurants and individuals from Arcadia University and the surrounding community. All of proceeds will be shared between two agencies whose mission is to address poverty and hunger: Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network and Rise Against Hunger.
