On Sunday, February 10, 5-7pm, participate in the Carlson Community Services’ winter soup social. Held in the Irving Park Lutheran Church Gym at 4057 N. Harding Ave., the fundraiser features samples of up to 10 homemade soups from local cooks and restaurants including Chef Ed Gardner, Hearth & Crust, Tre Kronor, and Bourgeois Pig Cafe.

Tickets can be purchased at the door and are $15 for adults; $10 for seniors and teens; $5 for kids 3-12; under 3 eat free! New this year, for just $5 more you can choose a one-of-a-kind handmade bowl! In addition to unlimited servings of soup, there will be music, a kids' craft room and bake sale.

All proceeds benefit Carlson Community Services, a 501c3 non-profit connecting the Irving Park community with programs that enrich lives through education, culture and service. For more information, contact Liz Mills at lizmills@carlsoncommunityservices.org or visit carlsoncommunityservices.org.
