Local Salon Plans “Soup-er” Event to Benefit Area’s Hungry

SMITHSBURG, MD News (3/10/2023) – Recently, federal food assistance programs decreased recipients’ benefit amounts to pre-pandemic amounts. For years, recipients had been receiving an extra amount to help families have access to nutritious food during the Covid-19 pandemic. Beginning in March 2023, many households received hundreds of dollars less than their previous allotment of SNAP benefits, and unfortunately, this comes at a time when inflation and other factors have sent grocery prices ever climbing. More and more families are turning to food banks and other community outreach programs to make sure that their families have food. The good news is, members of our community, like The Artist’s Pallette Hair Salon and Gallery are stepping up to help!

On March 26, 2023, The Artist’s Pallette Hair Salon and Gallery is having a fantastic event to benefit Tabitha’s Table – a food pantry located in Smithsburg, Maryland. The event will be held at the Smithsburg Fire Hall, featuring live music, a silent auction, and a selection of delicious soups. For a mere $35.00 per ticket, attendees will be able to choose from a list of homemade soups. The soup will be served in lovingly handcrafted and unique bowls made by local pottery students! Choose your bowl, choose your soup, and enjoy a night out for a fantastic cause. Attendees get to keep the beautiful bowl of their choosing.

If a person does not plan to attend in person or would like to purchase a ticket to donate, The Artist’s Pallette encouraged people to consider sponsoring a ticket for a warm, hearty meal for a person in need.
