SOUPer Saturday 2/13 at Torpedo Factory for UCM!

A collaboration of Torpedo Factory Art Center, Factory ceramic artists, The Art League, and Chart House to benefit UCM.

Don’t miss this creative and meaningful annual event! Arrive early for the best selection... we will go to noon but will likely “sell out” much earlier...

22nd Annual SOUPer Saturday at the Torpedo Factory in Old Town (waterfront entrance).

On this day, your purchase has a purpose: helping to fill the empty bowls and pantries of those most in need within our community. All proceeds benefit United Community Ministries (UCM of Alexandria).

Come to the waterfront entrance anytime between 9am and noon to select from an array of beautiful handcrafted bowls donated by Torpedo Factory artists.

One-of-a-kind handcrafted bowls are $20 each. Each patron receives a soup voucher, and Chart House will be serving its award-winning clam chowder in the Torpedo Factory until noon.
