Sponsor a bowl or a batch

Support the Cobequid Food Security Network by sponsoring an individual bowl or an entire batch!

Sponsor a bowl

A steaming bowl of hot soup with a spoon inside.

  • Sponsor a bowl of soup to provide a warm, nutritious meal for someone facing food insecurity in our community.

    Each sponsored bowl is stored in the community freezer, ready to offer comfort and sustenance to those in need.

    Your support helps ensure no one goes hungry, especially during colder months. Together, we can make a meaningful difference—one bowl at a time.

Sponsor a batch

A steaming pot on a stove with steam rising from it.

  • Sponsoring a whole batch of soup means providing approximately 300 nourishing meals for individuals and families in need.

    These soups are prepared with care and placed in community freezers across the region, ensuring easy access to warm, wholesome food for those facing food insecurity.

    Your support helps strengthen community connections and offers comfort during difficult times.
