January is National Soup Month
How do we love thee? Let us count the ways—chunky, clear, creamy, spicy, savory or sweet, sometimes hot, sometimes cold. There are a million ways to enjoy soup! And many kinds of soup are nutritious too. Go ahead and indulge and get souped up on soup this month.
National Soup Month is also a great time to donate soup to Community Table so hungry families can drive away hunger and those chilly winter blues with a hot bowl of soup.
We accept food donations Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

3W Races annual Heart Throb 5k benefiting Community Table is Saturday, February 11, 2023. The race winds through Memorial Park in Arvada, and all ages, fitness levels and abilities are welcome.
Stick around after your 5k run (or walk!) for food, photos, awards, prize drawings, after-party and to cheer on fellow runners at the finish line. A holiday run would not be the same without your loved ones, so share this event with family and friends. Groups of five or more get special team pricing.

Racers, volunteers and spectators who bring FIVE canned goods to the food drive at the run will be entered into a raffle for prizes from local businesses, including race entries, gift certificates, apparel and more!
