Cornerstone volunteers (Ron MacDonald, Sheryl Barton, Amy Crisp, Stan Billings, Bob and Karen Cook) heated soup, served soup, poured ice tea and picked up dirty soup trays to raise money at the 16th Annual Youth Villages Soup Sunday held January 16 at the FEDEX Forum. More than 1,800 Memphis soup-lovers attend Soup Sunday annually to taste all-you-can-eat soups, breads, desserts, and specialty items. More than 70 area restaurants and food-service suppliers provide signature dishes for the the event. Funds raised at Soup Sunday are used on programs which help more than 5,000 emotionally and behaviorally troubled children each year. Programs include adoption and therapeutic foster care, home-based counseling, residential treatment, transitional living, group homes, specialized crisis services and an emergency shelter for runaway and homeless teens. Through events such as this, Youth Village is better able to accomplish its mission of helping children and families live successfully.
