Sharon Hapton is the driving force behind Soup Sisters, a community building program which has spread across seven Canadian provinces and in two locations in the United States. Through this program, volunteers come together to cook for victims of domestic and family violence. In dire times, the warmth and comfort provided by a nurturing bowl of soup reinforces the collective message that “we care”.
