Big Soup in Pittsburgh

After December 2017, which was Big Soup’s 25th year, Melissa and Stephen thought about retiring the event. And no one would have thought ill of them; 25 years of doing anything is pretty darned impressive. But through a happy accident they were invited to tour the food bank facility, and were so impressed with the scope of what the organization does, they felt they had to keep going. “We realized that as long as we were physically and mentally able, it would be pretty selfish of us to quit,” Melissa says. “We can’t stop.“
