Students team with local restaurant to launch ‘Group Soup’ program
A group of George Fox students are doing their part to feed members of the Newberg community as the weather gets colder. Teaming up with Subterra, a restaurant in town, students are helping create a community “Group Soup” program that both embodies community spirit and promotes the arts.
Students in Mark Terry’s ceramics classes will create bowls that will be filled with soup and served with home-baked breads in Francis Square in downtown Newberg during First Friday Art Walks in February, March and April. Next week (Dec. 13-19), Subterra is donating 25 percent of its gross proceeds during lunchtime as seed money to buy raw product and launch the program.
Downtown meals will be given away at no cost, or on a pay-what-you-want model for those wishing to donate to the future of the program. Ceramic bowls will be available for purchase, with proceeds dedicated to sustaining the program, or patrons can get their soup in disposable bowls.
Art Walks are held from about 5 to 8 p.m. the first Friday of each month with the exception of January.
