FEED 5000 FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN

Our organization Bowl’d + Blessed, Martha’s Mobile Soup Kitchen recently started a new fundraising campaign to feed the homeless in Chicago. Bowl’d + Blessed, Martha’s Mobile Soup Kitchen is a subsidiary of the Legacy Initiative, a 501(c)(3) Certified Charity whose mission is to fund projects in our communities to help those in need. We’re very excited to involve our community in our fundraising efforts.

With these funds, our organization will be able to purchase a used or new Mobile Soup Kitchen, equipment, gas, food, utensils, and other needed items. We are raising money for our FEED 5000 Fundraising Campaign starting October 1, 2022. This will be our first-ever campaign to raise the initial seed money to fund our project. Our goal is $100,000 and we are hoping that you could help us reach that goal.

To meet our fundraising goal, it will truly take a village. Are you able to support this incredible cause? Any amount you can contribute will make a difference—even $5.

We’re accepting cash donations as well as in-kind donations of goods or services. Feel free to make a contribution that you’re comfortable with.

I’d like to thank you in advance for your generosity. Please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at 515-350-9142 or eclark@beginthelegacy.org if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Clark
Co-Founder
