The Stone Soup Project
General Manager Madison Miller hosts private RISE events like the Build Your Own Pizza night. These gatherings provide a creative, social outlet for our community to connect and build belonging.
The Stone Soup Project is an incredible organization dedicated to feeding those in need through the power of community. Inspired by the legend of Stone Soup, their mission reminds us that when everyone contributes something, together we can make a difference. Through this meaningful partnership, RISE participants will come together in cooking classes to prepare meals for Stone Soup, building valuable skills, friendships, and a sense of purpose while giving back to others. It's a beautiful example of inclusion, teamwork, and the power of helping one another.
