PROCESS
 
For a $5 donation, attendees are given access to a community dinner where they will eat, learn, and vote. Four teams will share a 5 minutes pitch capturing their project idea, leaving the audience to vote for the project they feel will have the greatest community impact. All proceeds from the dinner will be awarded to the winning team.  
 
Our SOUP dinner will take place at the Flushing Meetinghouse on October 16, 2016 from 4 - 6 PM. The application process is now open.  Also interested in sponsoring SOUP? Contact cody@flushingchamber.nyc.
