Ask anyone. Soup Sunday is one of THE MOST FUN events in Central Arkansas. The atmosphere is “souper” casual and family-friendly, the food is always delicious, and the cause most important – the future of Arkansas’s kids. Mark your calendars and plan to join us for Soup Sunday on March 2, 2025 from 4:00 – 7:00 pm at The Venue at Westwind – 7318 Windsong Drive, North Little Rock, AR 72113.

The venue will be filled with Central Arkansas’s best recipes, biggest soup-lovers, and nicest people around. We’ll have an auction to please even the pickiest of shoppers, and music to keep kids of all ages on the dance floor. We’re thrilled that Madere Toure and Pap Dior of AfroBites are this year’s featured chefs. The event is co-chaired by Dr. Gene Lu and Kevin Shalin.

Bring your friends, your family, and everyone else who loves good food, nice people, fun music, silent auctions, and raising money for worthy causes.

Don’t forget your muffin tin! If you spot a Soup Sunday guest with a decorated muffin tin, they’re longtime fans of the event and supporters of Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. Others bring their own tin because it cuts down on waste. It is by no means required, however! If you don’t bring a muffin tin, don’t fret. We’ll have a tray for you, to make it “souper” easy to collect and carry all the soups you want to try.

We’d love to have you join us as a sponsor! Businesses, organizations, families, and individuals can sponsor Soup Sunday – including you! Sign up here. Reach out to Fran Carter at fcarter@aradvocates.org or 501-454-5014 or to Cara Neal at cneal@aradvocates.org or 501-476-3473 for more information.

Proceeds from the event support AACF’s mission to ensure that all Arkansas children and their families have the resources and opportunities to lead healthy and productive lives.
