For the last six years the City of Middletown has generously challenged Amazing Grace Food Pantry to raise a sum of money through donations that the City would then match. In this year's challenge, they need to raise $45,000 in order to receive a $22,500 grant from the City. This SOUP SUPPER is the "kickoff" of the AMAZING CHALLENGE to help raise that $45,000. Come enjoy the tastiest soups, breads and cookies in the City! Click For Past Amazing Challange Events
