Stirring Up Hope with EDWINS Restaurant
Old Stone Church and EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute are teaming up this fall to bring warmth and nourishment to Clevelanders in need through a new collaborative ministry called Stirring Up Hope.
Created as a positive response to the many difficult stories dominating today’s headlines, Stirring Up Hope is rooted in a simple but powerful idea: to feed the community, one kettle at a time.
Each week throughout the season, EDWINS chefs will prepare large kettles of soups and stews that will be delivered to partner sites across the city.
The premise of this partnership is simple: every Wednesday, starting at 11 a.m., six Cleveland-based nonprofit organizations will serve EDWINS-crafted artisan soup straight from the kettle and served to anyone who desires a simple, healthy meal - no questions asked.
Stirring Up Hope is presented at a time when nearly 30% of Cleveland residents face food insecurity, which is more than double the national average, and one in four children face food insecurity (Cleveland Health Survey).
