Soup Kitchen was a huge success!

Thank you to everyone who made the 17th Annual Portal Rescue Soup Kitchen fundraiser a huge success!

Over three days, we raised a total of $7,748 for Portal Rescue, which included raffle tickets sales, meals, other sales, and donations. In addition to those from our own area, we had folks from Silver City, Lordsburg, Willcox, Douglas, and Bisbee. On Monday, we served 139 meals. On Tuesday, 115, and on Wednesday, we set a record at 152 meals served.

We couldn’t have done this without the generous support of the many people who donated raffle prizes, made soup, baked bread, and prepared desserts. And a huge thank you to all of our tireless volunteer workers.
