Silent Auction and Wine Pull
The event will also feature a silent auction with exclusive items. We will be posting the items for the Silent Auction on our event page soon. Stay tuned!
Plus, we are adding a wine pull this year! A wine pull is a fun game of chance at charity events where guests pay to select a mystery bottle of wine. Every participant wins a bottle, but the actual value ranges from basic table wines up to luxury bottles.
Can't make it? Consider making a donation.

About Soul Food Project
The Soul Food Project mission is to create a thoughtful and productive community of youth and adults from diverse backgrounds who work together to build a sustainable food system. We do this through the various programs that we offer.
Our farms serve as production, education, and demonstration sites for our neighbors, as well as a space for gathering and celebration.
Our community programs like Garden Grow Share, Volunteer Workshare, and Community Compost are designed to serve the vibrant, diverse, and unique communities in which we are present and active, as well as those communities suffering from food apartheid.
Our Veggie Box program offers our neighbors a way to consistently access fresh produce year-round at an affordable cost. Our boxes also educate our community on the seasonality of food and introduce them to different produce and recipes to try.
Our workforce development programs, Seeds to Leaders and Roots to Leaders, offer opportunities for all to learn how to grow and distribute their food. These year-round programs cultivate leadership among our youth and adult participants as they manage urban farming plots, build job-readiness skills, and engage in community service. These programs integrate real-world business principles, educate about food sovereignty and local agriculture, providing valuable skills for personal and professional growth.
Our goal is to instill leadership.
Our goal is to create neighborhood connections and community opportunities for contributions.
Our goal is to develop and nurture cooperative relationships.
Our goal is to promote food justice and food sovereignty.
Soul Food Project is a 501c3 nonprofit organization incorporated in Indiana.
