The Coupon Cards can be purchased online or at the Bowls of Hope Soup Cook-Off.

For one ticket price, attendees at the Cook-Off can sample signature soups and vote for their favorite. The top vote-getter will be presented with the “Golden Spoon People’s Choice Award” during the evening.

Everyone attending the Bowls of Hope is also being asked to bring a can of soup or other non-perishable for the final day of our Bowls of Hope Food Drive to benefit the Community FoodBank of NJ, Southern Branch.
