The soups will be distributed on Oct. 25 from St. John XXIII Catholic Church on Pine Street.

“It is always a wonderful event on soup distribution day,” says soup sale coordinator Judy Hoppes. “So many churches and organizations working together.”

Soup purchasers will also have the chance to win gift certificates to eateries participating in the Oct. 29 and 30 Dine Out Against Hunger Days. Participating eateries will be announced later in October.
