‘Soup Bowl Sunday’ serving up hundreds of free meals in central Regina
Organizers say the project began in 2021 as a response to the hunger seen at Camp Hope.
It was expanded to the second location this year with the help of Regina Community Fridge and Warriors of Hope Community Support Inc.“My sister and I, one of our favourite memories from when we were kids was having soup and bannock with our families. We grew up in poverty so we would utilize soup and bannock as a way to feed us,” said Comeback Society Founder and CEO Alicia Morrow.The Comeback Society’s other programs include workshops at the Mackenzie Art Gallery and virtual beading workshops.
“I’ve been living in Regina my whole life but I guess I’ve kind of been separated,” said volunteer Jesse Aaron Triffo, who began helping out about a month ago. “It’s fulfilling already. When you’re handing out the food, it’s fulfilling but also depressing because you get a sense of the urgency and the need.”
