BUY A SOUP GIVE A SOUP
Give Back Concept
The cost of producing 1 soup = $8 (including - rent, utilities, ingredients, gas, staff)
Add $8 onto the Soup of the Day and we will provide 1 soup to someone in need.
ON THE MENU
​Allow your patrons to assist you in giving back to the community.
-
Add $8 to the cost of your "Soup of the Day" or another "Slow" dish. The monthly total will then be donated to Slow Food Barbados, and a soup will be provided to a family in need for each $8 donated.
-
At the end of the week/month, the Point of Sale (POS) tallies up what was ordered and a donation is made. This can be done as an online bank transfer.
-
To be part of the programme the aim is to contribute at least $320 per month = 40 soups.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Together we are creating a new model that puts its values at the core of its systems – a circular economy that supports and gives back to the community. We purchase ingredients from local farmers supporting our local economy and give stipends to chefs and community leaders who produce and deliver our soups. By joining our program your establishment and patrons have the opportunity to participate and give back.
RESILIENCE
Build resiliency in our food system to support farmers in growing more. In 2020, the food import bill of Barbados was $700 million BBD.
