Through Sharing We Are All Richer: Stone Soup 2024
Welcome to Stone Soup
Presented by
Through sharing we are all richer.
Stone Soup is our largest (unticketed) fundraiser and supports our programs all year long. We rely on it to fund services and provide resources for some of our most vulnerable neighbors. Unfortunately this year, due to the emergency I-5 closure on May 16th, we lost most of our crowd. The impact of that on our funding has been heartbreaking to see, and we are over $180,000 away from our goal.
Now, more than ever, we need your support.
May 16th was our 35th annual Stone Soup, and although we were expecting a record-breaking number of attendees, the emergency closure of I-5 that same night greatly impacted people's ability to attend. We heard that some guests sat in traffic for over 4 hours, and still couldn’t get there for the event! In the end, only about 250 of the expected 650 guests arrived.
We're so sorry to all those who got caught in traffic, and we're incredibly grateful to everyone who tried, successfully or not, to attend. The crowd was smaller than anticipated, but the energy and support we felt were monumental.
The Stone Soup Story
The European folk tale, Stone Soup, has been the inspiration for Housing Hope's Annual Stone Soup Fundraiser since its beginning in 2001.
The message of the story: Through sharing, we are all richer.
​
If each of us brings a little something to share, we can enrich the lives of the most vulnerable households in Snohomish County, ensuring that they have access to affordable housing and supportive services while on their journey to greater self-sufficiency.
​
In 2023, Housing Hope served over 2,000 members of our community.
Housing Hope is a not for profit organization that supports community members in Snohomish County and Camano Island experiencing homelessness or low-incomes.
