VERO BEACH — The law firm of Rossway Moore Swan will launch their holiday season of giving on Thursday, Dec. 5, from 11:30 a.m. until 1:15 p.m. as they host their annual “Soup Bowl,” which will be held at 2101 Indian River Blvd., Ste. 200 in Vero Beach.
The “Soup Bowl,” which benefits the Samaritan Center for Homeless Families, is a 21 year tradition for the center; it marks Rossway Moore Swan’s 5th year of hosting the event.
The idea is that individuals forego the elaborate meal they would normally enjoy in place of a simpler meal of soup and bread, while donating what they saved on the meal to the Samaritan Center.
The interfaith, nonprofit organization offers long term transitional housing and guidance for homeless families of Indian River County and prepares them to live independently.
Rossway Moore Swan would like to welcome the community to a delicious lunch, featuring a variety of soups for $5 a bowl and all homemade by employees of the firm.
Included in the price are drinks and desserts as well as breads. There will also be a large assortment of handmade pottery bowls made by local artists available for sale for $10 each.
While continuing to reach out to the community during the holiday season, Rossway Moore Swan decorates a “Giving Tree” to benefit a local charity. The firm invites employees and visitors to participate in their holiday giving effort by selecting a tag from the tree which identifies the wish of a young child.
Gifts are returned to the firm and will then be distributed to the children as designated by the charity.
Additionally, Rossway Moore Swan supports the Sebastian River High School Choir’s fundraiser by purchasing their poinsettia plants from the choir to decorate their offices in make ready fashion for the “Soup Bowl.”
